中文简介:
大数据和人工智能计算的兴起,对机器学习系统提出了新的要求,要求其学习具有数百万到数十亿个参数的复杂模型,这些参数保证有足够的能力消化海量数据集,并提供强大的实时预测分析。在本次演讲中,我讨论了最近一种大规模构建新的分布式人工智能框架的趋势,称为“系统和ML算法协同设计”,或者说SysML系统设计是根据ML算法的独特财产进行定制的,并且重新设计算法以更好地适应系统架构。我展示了如何在设计系统架构时探索ML程序特有的、但在传统计算机程序中不典型的潜在统计和算法特征,以实现ML程序的全面、普遍和理论上健全的通电。我还简要介绍了基于此类跨学科创新的Petuum系统,该系统旨在通过Petuum自动机器学习降低进入人工智能技术的障碍,从而显著提高人工智能解决方案的采用率。我展示了人工智能用户如何通过可组装和定制的自动化、产品级、硬件不可知、标准化的构建块,从算法编程和系统调优的苛刻体验中解放出来,并轻松地自行或自动尝试不同的人工智能方法、参数和速度/资源权衡。为了将这一点放在更广泛的背景下,研究界和公众最近关于人工智能的讨论一直在倡导一种关于人工智能(AI)的新奇观点,即人工智能可以模仿、超越、威胁甚至毁灭人类。这种讨论主要是由深度学习实验和应用的最新进展推动的,然而,这些实验和应用经常受到其狡猾、不可解释和不可推广性的困扰。我将讨论人工智能作为一个严格的工程学科和一种商品的不同观点,在这里,标准化、模块化、可重复性、可重用性和透明度是普遍期望的,正如在土木工程中,建设者应用所有科学的原理和技术来建造可靠的建筑一样。我将讨论这种观点如何为人工智能研究和工程设定不同的焦点、方法、度量和期望,我们在SysML工作中实践了这一点。
课程简介: The rise of Big Data and AI computing has led to new demands for Machine Learning systems to learn complex models with millions to billions of parameters that promise adequate capacity to digest massive datasets and offer powerful and real-time predictive analytics thereupon. In this talk, I discuss a recent trend toward building new distributed frameworks for AI at massive scale known as “system and ML algorithm co-design”, or SysML—system designs are tailored to the unique properties of ML algorithms, and algorithms are re-designed to better fit into the system architecture. I show how one can explore the underlying statistical and algorithmic characteristics unique to ML programs but not typical in traditional computer programs in designing the system architecture to achieve significant, universal, and theoretically sound power-up of ML program across the board. I also present a briefly introduction of the Petuum system based on such interdisciplinary innovations, which intends to dramatically improve adoption of AI solutions by lowering the barrier of entry to AI technologies via Automatic Machine Learning through Petuum. I show how, through automatable, product-grade, hardware-agnostic, standardized building blocks that can be assembled and customized, AI users can liberate themselves from the demanding experience of algorithm programming and system tuning, and easily experiment with different AI methods, parameters, and speed/resource trade-offs by themselves or automatically. To put this in a broader context, recent discussions about AI in both research community, and the general public have been championing a novelistic view of AI, that AI can mimic, surpass, threaten, or even destroy mankind. And such discussions are fueled by mainly recent advances in deep learning experimentations and applications, which are however often plagued by its craftiness, un-interpretability, and poor generalizability. I will discuss a different view of AI as a rigorous engineering discipline and as a commodity, where standardization, modularity, repeatability, reusability, and transparency are commonly expected, just as in civil engineering where builders apply principles and techniques from all sciences to build reliable constructions. I will discuss how such a view sets different focus, approach, metric, and expectation for AI research and engineering, which we practiced in our SysML work.
