Machine unlearning seeks to selectively remove the "influence" of specific training data on a model's outputs. The ideal goal is Retrain Equivalence--behavior identical to a model trained from scratch on only the retained data. This goal…

Machine unlearning techniques, which involve retracting data records and reducing influence of said data on trained models, help with the user privacy protection objective but incur significant computational costs. Weight perturbation-based…

Federated Continual Learning (FCL) has recently emerged as a crucial research area, as data from distributed clients typically arrives as a stream, requiring sequential learning. This paper explores a more practical and challenging FCL…

We study the problem of scheduling jobs on fault-prone machines communicating via a shared channel, also known as multiple-access channel. We have $n$ arbitrary length jobs to be scheduled on $m$ identical machines, $f$ of which are prone…

Distributed file systems are widely used nowadays, yet using their default configurations is often not optimal. At the same time, tuning configuration parameters is typically challenging and time-consuming. It demands expertise and tuning…

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have become integral in safety-critical applications, thus raising concerns about their fault tolerance. Conventional hardware-dependent fault tolerance methods, such as Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR),…

Neural networks are very effective when trained on large datasets for a large number of iterations. However, when they are trained on non-stationary streams of data and in an online fashion, their performance is reduced (1) by the online…

Reinforcement learning lies at the intersection of several challenges. Many applications of interest involve extremely large state spaces, requiring function approximation to enable tractable computation. In addition, the learner has only a…

Large Language Model (LLM) training is frequently interrupted by a heterogeneous spectrum of failures, from common GPU crashes to catastrophic cluster-wide outages. Existing checkpointing systems rely on monolithic, single-tier storage…

Learning-based control methods utilize run-time data from the underlying process to improve the controller performance under model mismatch and unmodeled disturbances. This is beneficial for optimizing industrial processes, where the…

Data-parallel (DP) training with synchronous all-reduce is a dominant paradigm for full-parameter fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs). While parameter synchronization guarantees numerical equivalence of model weights after each…

State machine replication is standard approach to fault tolerance. One of the key assumptions of state machine replication is that replicas must execute operations deterministically and thus serially. To benefit from multi-core servers,…
