Data Parallel Frameworks For Training Machine Learning Models, Guoyi Zhao Jun 2022

Data Parallel Frameworks For Training Machine Learning Models, Guoyi Zhao

Doctoral Dissertations

Machine learning is the study of computer algorithms that focuses on analyzing and interpreting patterns and structures in data. It has been successfully applied to many areas in computer science and achieved state-of-the-art results to enable learning, reasoning, and decision-making without human interactions. This research aims to develop innovated data parallel frameworks to accommodate the computing resources to parallelize different machine learning and deep learning algorithms and speed up the training. To achieve that, we explore three interesting frameworks in this dissertation: (1) Sync-on-the-fly framework for gradient descent algorithms on transient resources; (2) Asynchronous Proactive Data Parallel framework for both …


Models And Machine Learning Techniques For Improving The Planning And Operation Of Electricity Systems In Developing Regions, Santiago Correa Cardona Jun 2022

Models And Machine Learning Techniques For Improving The Planning And Operation Of Electricity Systems In Developing Regions, Santiago Correa Cardona

Doctoral Dissertations

The enormous innovation in computational intelligence has disrupted the traditional ways we solve the main problems of our society and allowed us to make more data-informed decisions. Energy systems and the ways we deliver electricity are not exceptions to this trend: cheap and pervasive sensing systems and new communication technologies have enabled the collection of large amounts of data that are being used to monitor and predict in real-time the behavior of this infrastructure. Bringing intelligence to the power grid creates many opportunities to integrate new renewable energy sources more efficiently, facilitate grid planning and expansion, improve reliability, optimize electricity …
