Which Is Deeper - Comparison Of Deep Learning Frameworks On SparkSpark Summit
This document compares several deep learning frameworks that run on Apache Spark, including SparkNet, Deeplearning4J, CaffeOnSpark, and Tensorflow on Spark. It outlines the theoretical principles behind data parallelism for distributed stochastic gradient descent. It then evaluates and benchmarks each framework based on criteria like ease of use, functionality, performance, and community support. SparkNet, CaffeOnSpark, and Tensorflow on Spark are shown to have stronger communities and support from organizations. The document concludes that while these frameworks currently lack model parallelism and could experience network congestion, integrating GPUs and improving scalability are areas for future work.

Improving Hardware Efficiency for DNN ApplicationsChester Chen
Speaker: Dr. Hai (Helen) Li is the Clare Boothe Luce Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Co-director of the Duke Center for Evolutionary Intelligence at Duke University
In this talk, I will introduce a few recent research spotlights by the Duke Center for Evolutionary Intelligence. The talk will start with the structured sparsity learning (SSL) method which attempts to learn a compact structure from a bigger DNN to reduce computation cost. It generates a regularized structure with high execution efficiency. Our experiments on CPU, GPU, and FPGA platforms show on average 3~5 times speedup of convolutional layer computation of AlexNet. Then, the implementation and acceleration of DNN applications on mobile computing systems will be introduced. MoDNN is a local distributed system which partitions DNN models onto several mobile devices to accelerate computations. ApesNet is an efficient pixel-wise segmentation network, which understands road scenes in real-time, and has achieved promising accuracy. Our prospects on the adoption of emerging technology will also be given at the end of this talk, offering the audiences an alternative thinking about the future evolution and revolution of modern computing systems.

GraphMat: Bridging the Productivity-Performance Gap in Graph Analytics: With increasing interest in large-scale distributed graph analytics for machine learning and data mining, more data scientists and developers are struggling to achieve high performance without sacrificing productivity on large graph problems. In this talk, I will discuss our solution to this problem: GraphMat. Using generalized sparse matrix-based primitives, we are able to achieve performance that is very close to hand-optimized native code, while allowing users to write programs using the familiar vertex-centric programming paradigm. I will show how we optimized GraphMat to achieve this performance on distributed platforms and provide programming examples. We have integrated GraphMat with Apache Spark in a manner that allows the combination to outperform all other distributed graph frameworks. I will explain the reasons for this performance and show that our approach achieves very high hardware efficiency in both single-node and distributed environments using primitives that are applicable to many machine learning and HPC problems. GraphMat is open source software and available for download.

Say What You Mean: Scaling Machine Learning Algorithms Directly from Source Code: Scaling machine learning applications is hard. Even with powerful systems like Spark, Tensor Flow, and Theano, the code you write has more to do with getting these systems to work at all than it does with your algorithm itself. But it doesn’t have to be this way!
In this talk, I’ll discuss an alternate approach we’ve taken with Pyfora, an open-source platform for scalable machine learning and data science in Python. I’ll show how it produces efficient, large scale machine learning implementations directly from the source code of single-threaded Python programs. Instead of programming to a complex API, you can simply say what you mean and move on. I’ll show some classes of problem where this approach truly shines, discuss some practical realities of developing the system, and I’ll talk about some future directions for the project.
Yggdrasil: Faster Decision Trees Using Column Partitioning In SparkJen Aman
This document introduces Yggdrasil, a new approach for training decision trees in Spark that partitions data by column instead of by row. Column partitioning significantly reduces communication costs for deep trees with many features. Evaluation on real-world datasets with millions of rows and thousands of features shows Yggdrasil achieves up to 24x speedup over the existing row-partitioning approach in Spark MLlib. The authors propose merging Yggdrasil into Spark MLlib to provide both row and column partitioning options for optimal performance on different problem sizes and depths.

Deep Learning Frameworks Using Spark on YARN by Vartika SinghData Con LA
Abstract:- Traditional machine learning and feature engineering algorithms are not efficient enough to extract complex and nonlinear patterns hallmarks of big data. Deep learning, on the other hand, helps translate the scale and complexity of the data into solutions like molecular interaction in drug design, the search for subatomic particles and automatic parsing of microscopic images. Co-locating a data processing pipeline with a deep learning framework makes data exploration/algorithm and model evolution much simpler, while streamlining data governance and lineage tracking into a more focused effort. In this talk, we will discuss and compare the different deep learning frameworks on Spark in a distributed mode, ease of integration with the Hadoop ecosystem, and relative comparisons in terms of feature parity.

Separating Hype from Reality in Deep Learning with Sameer FarooquiDatabricks
Deep Learning is all the rage these days, but where does the reality of what Deep Learning can do end and the media hype begin? In this talk, I will dispel common myths about Deep Learning that are not necessarily true and help you decide whether you should practically use Deep Learning in your software stack.
I’ll begin with a technical overview of common neural network architectures like CNNs, RNNs, GANs and their common use cases like computer vision, language understanding or unsupervised machine learning. Then I’ll separate the hype from reality around questions like:
• When should you prefer traditional ML systems like scikit learn or Spark.ML instead of Deep Learning?
• Do you no longer need to do careful feature extraction and standardization if using Deep Learning?
• Do you really need terabytes of data when training neural networks or can you ‘steal’ pre-trained lower layers from public models by using transfer learning?
• How do you decide which activation function (like ReLU, leaky ReLU, ELU, etc) or optimizer (like Momentum, AdaGrad, RMSProp, Adam, etc) to use in your neural network?
• Should you randomly initialize the weights in your network or use more advanced strategies like Xavier or He initialization?
• How easy is it to overfit/overtrain a neural network and what are the common techniques to ovoid overfitting (like l1/l2 regularization, dropout and early stopping)?

Video and images are a key part of Internet traffic—think of all the data generated by social networking sites such as Facebook and Instagram—and this trend continues to grow. Extracting usable information from video and images is thus a growing requirement in the data center. For example, object and face recognition are valuable for a wide range of uses, from social applications to security applications. Deep neural networks are currently the most popular form of convolutional neural networks (CNN) used in data centers for such applications. 3D convolutions are a core part of CNNs. Nagesh presents alternative implementations of 3D convolutions on FPGAs, and discusses trade-offs among them.

Accelerating Machine Learning Applications on Spark Using GPUsIBM
Matrix factorization (MF) is widely used in recommendation systems. We present cuMF, a highly-optimized matrix factorization tool with supreme performance on graphics processing units (GPUs) by fully utilizing the GPU compute power and minimizing the overhead of data movement. Firstly, we introduce a memory-optimized alternating least square (ALS) method by reducing discontiguous memory access and aggressively using registers to reduce memory latency. Secondly, we combine data parallelism with model parallelism to scale to multiple GPUs.
Results show that with up to four GPUs on one machine, cuMF can be up to ten times as fast as those on sizable clusters on large scale problems, and has impressively good performance when solving the largest matrix factorization problem ever reported.

Deep learning systems are susceptible to adversarial manipulation through techniques like generating adversarial samples and substitute models. By making small, targeted perturbations to inputs, an attacker can cause misclassifications or reduce a model's confidence without affecting human perception of the inputs. This is possible due to blind spots in how models learn representations that are different from human concepts. Defending against such attacks requires training models with adversarial techniques to make them more robust.

Malicious software are categorized into families based on
their static and dynamic characteristics, infection methods, and nature of threat. Visual exploration of malware instances and families in a low dimensional space helps in giving a first overview about dependencies and
relationships among these instances, detecting their groups and isolating outliers. Furthermore, visual exploration of different sets of features is useful in assessing the quality of these sets to carry a valid abstract representation, which can be later used in classification and clustering algorithms to achieve a high accuracy. We investigate one of
the best dimensionality reduction techniques known as t-SNE to reduce the malware representation from a high dimensional space consisting of
thousands of features to a low dimensional space. We experiment with
different feature sets and depict malware clusters in 2-D.

Deep Learning Made Easy with Deep FeaturesTuri, Inc.
Deep learning models can learn hierarchical feature representations from raw input data. These learned features can then be used to build simple classifiers that achieve high accuracy, even when training data is limited. Transfer learning involves using features extracted from a model pre-trained on a large dataset to build classifiers for other related problems. This approach has been shown to outperform traditional feature engineering with hand-designed features. Deep features extracted from neural networks trained on large image or text datasets have proven to work well as general purpose features for other visual and language problems.

Below is a roughly 3000‐word summary of Lecture 16 (13th March 2025) on ML Accelerators with In-Memory Computing (IMC) from the “E0 294: Systems for Machine Learning” course. This lecture delves into the architecture and design of emerging ML accelerators that leverage in-memory computing to overcome data movement bottlenecks, reduce latency, and improve energy efficiency. The discussion covers the fundamentals of IMC, detailed case studies of architectures such as ISAAC, PipeLayer, and AtomLayer, and the challenges associated with designing and implementing these systems.
──────────────────────────────
Overview and Motivation
In modern machine learning systems, especially those deployed on mobile platforms and edge devices, energy efficiency and low latency are critical. Traditional computing architectures suffer from the “memory wall” problem: the energy and time cost associated with moving data between memory and processing units. In-memory computing (IMC) is presented as an innovative solution that combines storage and computation in a single unit, reducing or even eliminating costly data transfers.
This lecture emphasizes that the drive toward IMC is motivated by the need to develop accelerators that not only perform inference efficiently but also support training. With emerging technologies like resistive random access memory (ReRAM) and memristors, IMC architectures promise to bring analog computation into the mainstream, offering significant improvements in power efficiency and performance for deep neural network (DNN) applications.
──────────────────────────────
Fundamentals of In-Memory Computing (IMC)
The lecture begins with an introduction to the concept of in-memory computing. Traditional digital systems separate memory and compute, incurring energy penalties during data transfers. IMC, in contrast, integrates computation directly into the memory array, enabling operations to be performed in situ. Two primary forms of analog computation are discussed:
1. **Resistive (Current-Based) Computing:** Here, the conductance of memory cells—often based on ReRAM—is used to represent weights. Computation, such as multiply-accumulate operations, is performed by leveraging the analog properties of these devices.
2. **Capacitive (Charge-Based) Computing:** In this model, stored charge is used to perform operations, though the lecture primarily focuses on resistive methods.
A key advantage of IMC is that the weights are stored as conductance values (G = 1/R) in the memory cells, meaning that the same physical device performs both storage and computation. This results in dramatic energy savings because data does not have to shuttle back and forth between separate memory and processing units.
The lecture underscores that although analog computing introduces challenges—such as noise and precision limitations—the potential energy and performance benefits make it an attractive avenue for accelerating
Hardware machine learning provides an appealing architectural solution to the energy consumption and runtime bottlenecks in this era of big data. This work proposes a parallel digital VLSI architecture for the Cascade SVM algorithm.
This comprehensive Data Science course is designed to equip learners with the essential skills and knowledge required to analyze, interpret, and visualize complex data. Covering both theoretical concepts and practical applications, the course introduces tools and techniques used in the data science field, such as Python programming, data wrangling, statistical analysis, machine learning, and data visualization.
