Modern machine learning algorithms are increasingly computationally demanding, requiring specialized hardware and distributed computation to achieve high performance in a reasonable time frame. Many hyperparameter search algorithms have been proposed for improving the efficiency of model selection, however their adaptation to the distributed compute environment is often ad-hoc. We propose Tune, a unified framework for model selection and training that provides a narrow-waist interface between training scripts and search algorithms. We show that this interface meets the requirements for a broad range of hyperparameter search algorithms, allows straightforward scaling of search to large clusters, and simplifies algorithm implementation. We demonstrate the implementation of several state-of-the-art hyperparameter search algorithms in Tune. Tune is available at http://ray.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tune.html.

Codistillation has been proposed as a mechanism to share knowledge among concurrently trained models by encouraging them to represent the same function through an auxiliary loss. This contrasts with the more commonly used fully-synchronous data-paral
lel stochastic gradient descent methods, where different model replicas average their gradients (or parameters) at every iteration and thus maintain identical parameters. We investigate codistillation in a distributed training setup, complementing previous work which focused on extremely large batch sizes. Surprisingly, we find that even at moderate batch sizes, models trained with codistillation can perform as well as models trained with synchronous data-parallel methods, despite using a much weaker synchronization mechanism. These findings hold across a range of batch sizes and learning rate schedules, as well as different kinds of models and datasets. Obtaining this level of accuracy, however, requires properly accounting for the regularization effect of codistillation, which we highlight through several empirical observations. Overall, this work contributes to a better understanding of codistillation and how to best take advantage of it in a distributed computing environment.
Recommendation systems are often trained with a tremendous amount of data, and distributed training is the workhorse to shorten the training time. While the training throughput can be increased by simply adding more workers, it is also increasingly c
hallenging to preserve the model quality. In this paper, we present shadowsync, a distributed framework specifically tailored to modern scale recommendation system training. In contrast to previous works where synchronization happens as part of the training process, shadowsync separates the synchronization from training and runs it in the background. Such isolation significantly reduces the synchronization overhead and increases the synchronization frequency, so that we are able to obtain both high throughput and excellent model quality when training at scale. The superiority of our procedure is confirmed by experiments on training deep neural networks for click-through-rate prediction tasks. Our framework is capable to express data parallelism and/or model parallelism, generic to host various types of synchronization algorithms, and readily applicable to large scale problems in other areas.
Training neural networks with many processors can reduce time-to-solution; however, it is challenging to maintain convergence and efficiency at large scales. The Kronecker-factored Approximate Curvature (K-FAC) was recently proposed as an approximati
on of the Fisher Information Matrix that can be used in natural gradient optimizers. We investigate here a scalable K-FAC design and its applicability in convolutional neural network (CNN) training at scale. We study optimization techniques such as layer-wise distribution strategies, inverse-free second-order gradient evaluation, and dynamic K-FAC update decoupling to reduce training time while preserving convergence. We use residual neural networks (ResNet) applied to the CIFAR-10 and ImageNet-1k datasets to evaluate the correctness and scalability of our K-FAC gradient preconditioner. With ResNet-50 on the ImageNet-1k dataset, our distributed K-FAC implementation converges to the 75.9% MLPerf baseline in 18-25% less time than does the classic stochastic gradient descent (SGD) optimizer across scales on a GPU cluster.
Although the challenge of the device connection is much relieved in 5G networks, the training latency is still an obstacle preventing Federated Learning (FL) from being largely adopted. One of the most fundamental problems that lead to large latency
is the bad candidate-selection for FL. In the dynamic environment, the mobile devices selected by the existing reactive candidate-selection algorithms very possibly fail to complete the training and reporting phases of FL, because the FL parameter server only knows the currently-observed resources of all candidates. To this end, we study the proactive candidate-selection for FL in this paper. We first let each candidate device predict the qualities of both its training and reporting phases locally using LSTM. Then, the proposed candidateselection algorithm is implemented by the Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) framework. Finally, the real-world trace-driven experiments prove that the proposed approach outperforms the existing reactive algorithms
We describe a structured system for distributed mechanism design. It consists of a sequence of layers. The lower layers deal with the operations relevant for distributed computing only, while the upper layers are concerned only with communication amo
ng players, including broadcasting and multicasting, and distributed decision making. This yields a highly flexible distributed system whose specific applications are realized as instances of its top layer. This design supports fault-tolerance, prevents manipulations and makes it possible to implement distributed policing. The system is implemented in Java. We illustrate it by discussing a number of implemented examples.
