Large language models (LLMs) are popular around the world due to their powerful understanding capabilities. As the core component of LLMs, accelerating Transformer through parallelization has gradually become a hot research topic. Mask…

Fully finetuning foundation language models (LMs) with billions of parameters is often impractical due to high computational costs, memory requirements, and the risk of overfitting. Although methods like low-rank adapters help address these…

Automated machine learning has gained a lot of attention recently. Building and selecting the right machine learning models is often a multi-objective optimization problem. General purpose machine learning software that simultaneously…

While sparse attention mitigates the computational bottleneck of long-context LLM training, its distributed training process exhibits extreme heterogeneity in both \textit{1)} sequence length and \textit{2)} sparsity sensitivity, leading to…

In addition to the best model architecture and hyperparameters, a full AutoML solution requires selecting appropriate hardware automatically. This can be framed as a multi-objective optimization problem: there is not a single best hardware…

Machine learning (ML) systems expose a rapidly expanding configuration space spanning model-parallelism strategies, communication optimizations, and low-level runtime parameters. End-to-end system efficiency is highly sensitive to these…

We consider a discrete optimization formulation for learning sparse classifiers, where the outcome depends upon a linear combination of a small subset of features. Recent work has shown that mixed integer programming (MIP) can be used to…

Machine learning has been widely used to optimize complex engineering workflows across numerous domains. In integrated circuit design, modern flows (e.g., register-transfer level to physical layout) involve extensive configuration via…

Automatic performance tuning (auto-tuning) is essential for optimizing high-performance applications, where vast and irregular search spaces make manual exploration infeasible. While auto-tuners traditionally rely on classical approaches…

Medical datasets are typically affected by issues such as missing values, class imbalance, a heterogeneous feature types, and a high number of features versus a relatively small number of samples, preventing machine learning models from…

When implementing functionality which requires sparse matrices, there are numerous storage formats to choose from, each with advantages and disadvantages. To achieve good performance, several formats may need to be used in one program,…

Many industry verticals are confronted with small-sized tabular data. In this low-data regime, it is currently unclear whether the best performance can be expected from simple baselines, or more complex machine learning approaches that…

Continual learning methods based on pre-trained models (PTM) have recently gained attention which adapt to successive downstream tasks without catastrophic forgetting. These methods typically refrain from updating the pre-trained parameters…

We address the non-convex optimisation problem of finding a sparse matrix on the Stiefel manifold (matrices with mutually orthogonal columns of unit length) that maximises (or minimises) a quadratic objective function. Optimisation problems…

Sparse Matrix-Vector multiplication (SpMV) is an essential computational kernel in many application scenarios. Tens of sparse matrix formats and implementations have been proposed to compress the memory storage and speed up SpMV…
