MLtuner: System Support for Automatic Machine Learning Tuning

1 code implementation • 20 Mar 2018 • Henggang Cui, Gregory R. Ganger, Phillip B. Gibbons

MLtuner automatically tunes settings for training tunables (such as the learning rate, the momentum, the mini-batch size, and the data staleness bound) that have a significant impact on large-scale machine learning (ML) performance.
