Technologies for platform-targeted machine learning include a computing device to generate a machine learning algorithm model indicative of a plurality of classes between which a user input is to be classified and translate the machine learning algorithm model into hardware code for execution on the target platform. The user input is to be classified as being associated with a particular class based on an application of one or more features to the user input, and each of the one or more features has an associated implementation cost indicative of a cost to perform on a target platform on which the corresponding feature is to be applied to the user input.
