In this paper we introduce a metalearning-based methodology for predicting the training runtime of various machine learning algorithms. This prediction is important for automated machine learning (AutoML) systems because they search by training and evaluating a large number of machine learning model…
There is an emerging trend to use large language models (LLMs) to reason about complex goals and orchestrate a set of pluggable tools or APIs to accomplish a goal. This functionality could, among other use cases, be used to build personal assistants for knowledge workers. While there are impressive…
Distributed Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) when run in a synchronous manner, suffers from delays in waiting for the slowest learners (stragglers). Asynchronous methods can alleviate stragglers, but cause gradient staleness that can adversely affect convergence. In this work we present the first t…
