When faced with changing environment, highly configurable software systems need to dynamically search for promising adaptation plan that keeps the best possible performance, e.g., higher throughput or smaller latency -- a typical planning…

Machine/deep learning models have been widely adopted for predicting the configuration performance of software systems. However, a crucial yet unaddressed challenge is how to cater for the sparsity inherited from the configuration…

Modern deep recommender models are trained under a continual learning paradigm, relying on massive and continuously growing streaming behavioral logs. In large-scale platforms, retraining models on full historical data for architecture…

Modern configurable software systems need to learn models that correlate configuration and performance. However, when the system operates in dynamic environments, the workload variations, hardware changes, and system updates will inevitably…

Current deep learning models often suffer from catastrophic forgetting of old knowledge when continually learning new knowledge. Existing strategies to alleviate this issue often fix the trade-off between keeping old knowledge (stability)…

Distributed Stream Processing (DSP) systems are capable of processing large streams of unbounded data, offering high throughput and low latencies. To maintain a stable Quality of Service (QoS), these systems require a sufficient allocation…

In the past years, machine learning (ML) has become a popular approach to support self-adaptation. While ML techniques enable dealing with several problems in self-adaptation, such as scalable decision-making, they are also subject to…

In many modern applications, data are received as infinite, rapid, unpredictable and time- variant data elements that are known as data streams. Systems which are able to process data streams with such properties are called Data Stream…

Dataset distillation (DD) aims to construct compact synthetic datasets that allow models to achieve comparable performance to full-data training while substantially reducing storage and computation. Despite rapid empirical progress, its…

Predicting the performance of highly configurable software systems is the foundation for performance testing and quality assurance. To that end, recent work has been relying on machine/deep learning to model software performance. However, a…

The transfer of knowledge from one policy to another is an important tool in Deep Reinforcement Learning. This process, referred to as distillation, has been used to great success, for example, by enhancing the optimisation of agents,…

Performance is arguably the most crucial attribute that reflects the quality of a configurable software system. However, given the increasing scale and complexity of modern software, modeling and predicting how various configurations can…

Modern software systems are often highly configurable to tailor varied requirements from diverse stakeholders. Understanding the mapping between configurations and the desired performance attributes plays a fundamental role in advancing the…

Runtime-reconfigurable software coupled with reconfigurable hardware is highly desirable as a means towards maximizing runtime efficiency without compromising programmability. Compilers for such software systems are extremely difficult to…

We present Dynamic Skill Adaptation (DSA), an adaptive and dynamic framework to adapt novel and complex skills to Large Language Models (LLMs). Compared with previous work which learns from human-curated and static data in random orders, we…

Knowledge distillation introduced in the deep learning context is a method to transfer knowledge from one architecture to another. In particular, when the architectures are identical, this is called self-distillation. The idea is to feed in…

In recent years, pre-trained multimodal large models have attracted widespread attention due to their outstanding performance in various multimodal applications. Nonetheless, the extensive computational resources and vast datasets required…

Personalized recommendation relies on user historical behaviors to provide user-interested items, and thus seriously struggles with the data sparsity issue. A powerful positive item augmentation is beneficial to address the sparsity issue,…

Continual learning requires models to learn continuously while preserving prior knowledge under evolving data streams. Distillation-based methods are appealing for retaining past knowledge in a shared single-model framework with low storage…

Dataset distillation is an effective technique for reducing the cost and complexity of model training while maintaining performance by compressing large datasets into smaller, more efficient versions. In this paper, we present a novel…
