Networks of Networks: Complexity Class Principles Applied to Compound AI Systems Design
This work aims to inform future research and practice in the design of compound AI systems.
Are More LLM Calls All You Need? Towards Scaling Laws of Compound Inference Systems
Many recent state-of-the-art results in language tasks were achieved using compound systems that perform multiple Language Model (LM) calls and aggregate their responses.
Break the Sequential Dependency of LLM Inference Using Lookahead Decoding
Autoregressive decoding of large language models (LLMs) is memory bandwidth bounded, resulting in high latency and significant wastes of the parallel processing power of modern accelerators.
Online Speculative Decoding
Adapting to query distribution mitigates the shifts between the training distribution of the draft model and the query distribution, enabling the draft model to more accurately predict the target model's outputs.
Proof: Accelerating Approximate Aggregation Queries with Expensive Predicates
Given a dataset $\mathcal{D}$, we are interested in computing the mean of a subset of $\mathcal{D}$ which matches a predicate.
Sinkhorn Label Allocation: Semi-Supervised Classification via Annealed Self-Training
Self-training is a standard approach to semi-supervised learning where the learner's own predictions on unlabeled data are used as supervision during training.
Leveraging Organizational Resources to Adapt Models to New Data Modalities
As applications in large organizations evolve, the machine learning (ML) models that power them must adapt the same predictive tasks to newly arising data modalities (e. g., a new video content launch in a social media application requires existing text or image models to extend to video).
Jointly Optimizing Preprocessing and Inference for DNN-based Visual Analytics
This runtime engine a) efficiently pipelines preprocessing and DNN execution for inference, b) places preprocessing operations on the CPU or GPU in a hardware- and input-aware manner, and c) efficiently manages memory and threading for high throughput execution.
Similarity Search for Efficient Active Learning and Search of Rare Concepts
Many active learning and search approaches are intractable for large-scale industrial settings with billions of unlabeled examples.
Chromatic Learning for Sparse Datasets
By leveraging the structural properties of the co-occurrence graph, CL can compress sparse datasets, such as KDD Cup 2012, that contain over 50M features down to 1024, using an order of magnitude fewer features than frequency-based truncation and the hashing trick while maintaining the same test error for linear models.
Model Assertions for Monitoring and Improving ML Models
We propose methods of using model assertions at all stages of ML system deployment, including runtime monitoring, validating labels, and continuously improving ML models.
MLPerf Training Benchmark
Machine learning (ML) needs industry-standard performance benchmarks to support design and competitive evaluation of the many emerging software and hardware solutions for ML.
LIT: Learned Intermediate Representation Training for Model Compression
In this work, we introduce Learned Intermediate representation Training (LIT), a novel model compression technique that outperforms a range of recent model compression techniques by leveraging the highly repetitive structure of modern DNNs (e. g., ResNet).
Selection via Proxy: Efficient Data Selection for Deep Learning
By removing hidden layers from the target model, using smaller architectures, and training for fewer epochs, we create proxies that are an order of magnitude faster to train.
Willump: A Statistically-Aware End-to-end Optimizer for Machine Learning Inference
First, Willump automatically cascades feature computation for classification queries: Willump classifies most data inputs using only high-value, low-cost features selected through empirical observations of ML model performance, improving query performance by up to 5x without statistically significant accuracy loss.
CrossTrainer: Practical Domain Adaptation with Loss Reweighting
Domain adaptation provides a powerful set of model training techniques given domain-specific training data and supplemental data with unknown relevance.
Select Via Proxy: Efficient Data Selection For Training Deep Networks
In our approach, we first train a small proxy model quickly, which we then use to estimate the utility of individual training data points, and then select the most informative ones for training the large target model.

Machine learning (ML) techniques are enjoying rapidly increasing adoption.
Equivariant Transformer Networks
How can prior knowledge on the transformation invariances of a domain be incorporated into the architecture of a neural network?
Block-wise Intermediate Representation Training for Model Compression
Hint training (i. e., FitNets) extends KD by regressing a student model’s intermediate representation (IR) to a teacher model’s IR.
LIT: Block-wise Intermediate Representation Training for Model Compression
Knowledge distillation (KD) is a popular method for reducing the computational overhead of deep network inference, in which the output of a teacher model is used to train a smaller, faster student model.

Model Specialization for Inference Via End-to-End Distillation, Pruning, and Cascades
Thus, simply fine-tuning or transfer learn- ing from a general-purpose network inherits a large computational cost that may not be necessary for a given task.

NoScope: Optimizing Neural Network Queries over Video at Scale
Given a target video, object to detect, and reference neural network, NoScope automatically searches for and trains a sequence, or cascade, of models that preserves the accuracy of the reference network but is specialized to the target video and are therefore far less computationally expensive.
