Abstract: Systems and methods are presented to provide a first machine learning model to a collaboration platform. The systems and methods receive a second machine learning model from the collaboration platform that indicates the second machine learning model is based on the first machine learning model. The systems and methods test the second machine learning model using criteria corresponding to the first machine learning model to determine whether the second machine learning model is valid. In turn, the systems and methods publish the second machine learning model to a repository in response to determining that the second machine learning model is valid.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods for adaptively training a machine learning model for estimating energy consumption in a cloud computing system are provided. Aspects include detecting an update event in the cloud computing system and collecting energy consumption data for the cloud computing system for a time period after the occurrence of the update event. Aspects also include retraining a power consumption model based at least in part on the data collected during the time period and storing the power consumption model in the cloud computing system.
