The Modern Data Team for the Modern Data Stack: dbt and the Role of the Analytics Engineer
2 likes2,917 views
A traditional data team has roles including data engineer, data scientist, and data analyst. However, many organizations are finding success by integrating a new role – the analytics engineer. The analytics engineer develops a code-based data infrastructure that can serve both analytics and data science teams. He or she develops re-usable data models using the software engineering practices of version control and unit testing, and provides the critical domain expertise that ensures that data products are relevant and insightful. In this talk we’ll talk about the role and skill set of the analytics engineer, and discuss how dbt, an open source programming environment, empowers anyone with a SQL skillset to fulfill this new role on the data team. We’ll demonstrate how to use dbt to build version-controlled data models on top of Delta Lake, test both the code and our assumptions about the underlying data, and orchestrate complete data pipelines on Apache Spark™.

3D: DBT using Databricks and Delta
3D: DBT using Databricks and DeltaDatabricks Data Build Tool (DBT) is an open source technology to set up your data lake using best practices from software engineering. This SQL first technology is a great marriage between Databricks and Delta. This allows you to maintain high quality data and documentation during the entire datalake life-cycle. In this talk I’ll do an introduction into DBT, and show how we can leverage Databricks to do the actual heavy lifting. Next, I’ll present how DBT supports Delta to enable upserting using SQL. Finally, we show how we integrate DBT+Databricks into the Azure cloud. Finally we show how we emit the pipeline metrics to Azure monitor to make sure that you have observability over your pipeline.

Enabling a Data Mesh Architecture with Data Virtualization
Enabling a Data Mesh Architecture with Data VirtualizationDenodo Watch full webinar here: https://bit.ly/3rwWhyv
The Data Mesh architectural design was first proposed in 2019 by Zhamak Dehghani, principal technology consultant at Thoughtworks, a technology company that is closely associated with the development of distributed agile methodology. A data mesh is a distributed, de-centralized data infrastructure in which multiple autonomous domains manage and expose their own data, called “data products,” to the rest of the organization.
Organizations leverage data mesh architecture when they experience shortcomings in highly centralized architectures, such as the lack domain-specific expertise in data teams, the inflexibility of centralized data repositories in meeting the specific needs of different departments within large organizations, and the slow nature of centralized data infrastructures in provisioning data and responding to changes.
In this session, Pablo Alvarez, Global Director of Product Management at Denodo, explains how data virtualization is your best bet for implementing an effective data mesh architecture.
You will learn:
- How data mesh architecture not only enables better performance and agility, but also self-service data access
- The requirements for “data products” in the data mesh world, and how data virtualization supports them
- How data virtualization enables domains in a data mesh to be truly autonomous
- Why a data lake is not automatically a data mesh
- How to implement a simple, functional data mesh architecture using data virtualization

What happens to the modern data stack (MDS) and analytics as a whole when streaming becomes accessible? For years, the MDS has been centered around batch-based workflows with dbt at its core, introducing software engineering best practices to analysts. But now with even major data warehouses like Snowflake getting in the game, expanding their streaming capabilities, what does that mean?
In this talk, we will explore what streaming in a batch-based analytics world should look like. How does that change your thoughts about implementing testing and performance optimization in your data pipelines? Do you still need dbt? And the question that we are all asking: do you really need a real-time dashboard?

How to Build the Data Mesh Foundation: A Principled Approach | Zhamak Dehghan...
How to Build the Data Mesh Foundation: A Principled Approach | Zhamak Dehghan...HostedbyConfluent Organizations have been chasing the dream of data democratization, unlocking and accessing data at scale to serve their customers and business, for over a half a century from early days of data warehousing. They have been trying to reach this dream through multiple generations of architectures, such as data warehouse and data lake, through a cambrian explosion of tools and a large amount of investments to build their next data platform. Despite the intention and the investments the results have been middling.
In this keynote, Zhamak shares her observations on the failure modes of a centralized paradigm of a data lake, and its predecessor data warehouse.
She introduces Data Mesh, a paradigm shift in big data management that draws from modern distributed architecture: considering domains as the first class concern, applying self-sovereignty to distribute the ownership of data, applying platform thinking to create self-serve data infrastructure, and treating data as a product.
This talk introduces the principles underpinning data mesh and Zhamak's recent learnings in creating a path to bring data mesh to life in your organization.
Speeding Time to Insight with a Modern ELT Approach
Speeding Time to Insight with a Modern ELT ApproachDatabricks The availability of new tools in the modern data stack is changing the way data teams operate. Specifically, the modern data stack supports an “ELT” approach for managing data, rather than the traditional “ETL” approach. In an ELT approach, data sources are automatically loaded in a normalized state into Delta Lake and opinionated transformations happen in the data destination using dbt. This workflow allows data analysts to move more quickly from raw data to insight, while creating repeatable data pipelines robust to changes in the source datasets. In this presentation, we’ll illustrate how easy it is for even a data analytics team of one to to develop an end-to-end data pipeline. We’ll load data from GitHub into Delta Lake, then use pre-built dbt models to feed a daily Redash dashboard on sales performance by manager, and use the same transformed models to power the data science team’s predictions of future sales by segment.

Simplifying AI integration on Apache Spark
Simplifying AI integration on Apache SparkDatabricks Spark is an ETL and Data Processing engine especially suited for big data. Most of the time an organization has different teams working on different languages, frameworks and libraries, which needs to be integrated in the ETL Pipelines or for general data processing. For example, a Spark ETL job may be written in Scala by data engineering team, but there is a need to integrate a machine learning solution written in python/R developed by Data Science team. These kinds of solutions are not very straightforward to integrate with spark engine, and it required great amount of collaboration between different teams, hence increasing overall project time and cost. Furthermore, these solutions will keep on changing/upgrading with time using latest versions of the technologies and with improved design and implementation, especially in Machine Learning domain where ML models/algorithms keep on improving with new data and new approaches. And so there is significant downtime involved in integrating the these upgraded version.

The Data Mesh is a kind of Data Fabric that emphasizes business-led data products running on event-driven streaming architectures, serverless, and microservices based platforms. These emerging solutions are essential for enterprises that run data-driven services on multi-cloud, multi-vendor ecosystems.
Join this session to get a fresh look at Data Mesh; we'll start with core architecture principles (vendor agnostic) and transition into detailed examples of how Oracle's GoldenGate platform is providing capabilities today. We will discuss essential technical characteristics of a Data Mesh solution, and the benefits that business owners can expect by moving IT in this direction. For more background on Data Mesh, Part 1, 2, and 3 are on the GoldenGate YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbqmhpwYrlZJ-583p3KQGDAd6038i1ywe

How to Build the Data Mesh Foundation: A Principled Approach | Zhamak Dehghan...HostedbyConfluent Organizations have been chasing the dream of data democratization, unlocking and accessing data at scale to serve their customers and business, for over a half a century from early days of data warehousing. They have been trying to reach this dream through multiple generations of architectures, such as data warehouse and data lake, through a cambrian explosion of tools and a large amount of investments to build their next data platform. Despite the intention and the investments the results have been middling.
In this keynote, Zhamak shares her observations on the failure modes of a centralized paradigm of a data lake, and its predecessor data warehouse.
She introduces Data Mesh, a paradigm shift in big data management that draws from modern distributed architecture: considering domains as the first class concern, applying self-sovereignty to distribute the ownership of data, applying platform thinking to create self-serve data infrastructure, and treating data as a product.
This talk introduces the principles underpinning data mesh and Zhamak's recent learnings in creating a path to bring data mesh to life in your organization.
Speeding Time to Insight with a Modern ELT Approach
Speeding Time to Insight with a Modern ELT ApproachDatabricks The availability of new tools in the modern data stack is changing the way data teams operate. Specifically, the modern data stack supports an “ELT” approach for managing data, rather than the traditional “ETL” approach. In an ELT approach, data sources are automatically loaded in a normalized state into Delta Lake and opinionated transformations happen in the data destination using dbt. This workflow allows data analysts to move more quickly from raw data to insight, while creating repeatable data pipelines robust to changes in the source datasets. In this presentation, we’ll illustrate how easy it is for even a data analytics team of one to to develop an end-to-end data pipeline. We’ll load data from GitHub into Delta Lake, then use pre-built dbt models to feed a daily Redash dashboard on sales performance by manager, and use the same transformed models to power the data science team’s predictions of future sales by segment.

Simplifying AI integration on Apache Spark
Simplifying AI integration on Apache SparkDatabricks Spark is an ETL and Data Processing engine especially suited for big data. Most of the time an organization has different teams working on different languages, frameworks and libraries, which needs to be integrated in the ETL Pipelines or for general data processing. For example, a Spark ETL job may be written in Scala by data engineering team, but there is a need to integrate a machine learning solution written in python/R developed by Data Science team. These kinds of solutions are not very straightforward to integrate with spark engine, and it required great amount of collaboration between different teams, hence increasing overall project time and cost. Furthermore, these solutions will keep on changing/upgrading with time using latest versions of the technologies and with improved design and implementation, especially in Machine Learning domain where ML models/algorithms keep on improving with new data and new approaches. And so there is significant downtime involved in integrating the these upgraded version.
Data Versioning and Reproducible ML with DVC and MLflow
Data Versioning and Reproducible ML with DVC and MLflowDatabricks Machine Learning development involves comparing models and storing the artifacts they produced. We often compare several algorithms to select the most efficient ones. We assess different hyper-parameters to fine-tune the model. Git helps us store multiple versions of our code. Additionally, we need to keep track of the datasets we are using. This is important not only for audit purposes but also for assessing the performances of the models, developed at a later time. Git is a standard code versioning tool in software development. It can be used to store your datasets but it does not offer an optimal solution.

How Service Mesh Fits into the Modern Data Stack
How Service Mesh Fits into the Modern Data StackFabian Hardt The modern data stack has become increasingly popular in the analytics community. Patterns like domain-driven design, known from classical software development, are finding their way into analytics contexts. This is the basis of a new paradigm, like Data Mesh. In a Data Mesh, every domain - like a different department for example - wants to solve similar problems with their own business data. Therefore, it’s vital to implement a flexible, lightweight, and manageable, but also secured and monitorable central self-service data platform. With the containerization of services, and using Kubernetes as a runtime, you can build flexible data architectures. Data visualization, data ingestion, orchestration, and ETL tools, as well as Cloud Data Warehouses, should all live together in a kind of a mesh. In this session, learn how Kong's CNCF Sandbox, project Kuma, provides the next level of security when handling data, other business domains, and exchanging data with external systems. Uncover the advantages of end-to-end tracing, data collection, and external access from outside of the mesh using Data APIs.

Democratizing Data Quality Through a Centralized Platform
Democratizing Data Quality Through a Centralized PlatformDatabricks Bad data leads to bad decisions and broken customer experiences. Organizations depend on complete and accurate data to power their business, maintain efficiency, and uphold customer trust. With thousands of datasets and pipelines running, how do we ensure that all data meets quality standards, and that expectations are clear between producers and consumers? Investing in shared, flexible components and practices for monitoring data health is crucial for a complex data organization to rapidly and effectively scale.
At Zillow, we built a centralized platform to meet our data quality needs across stakeholders. The platform is accessible to engineers, scientists, and analysts, and seamlessly integrates with existing data pipelines and data discovery tools. In this presentation, we will provide an overview of our platform’s capabilities, including:
Giving producers and consumers the ability to define and view data quality expectations using a self-service onboarding portal
Performing data quality validations using libraries built to work with spark
Dynamically generating pipelines that can be abstracted away from users
Flagging data that doesn’t meet quality standards at the earliest stage and giving producers the opportunity to resolve issues before use by downstream consumers
Exposing data quality metrics alongside each dataset to provide producers and consumers with a comprehensive picture of health over time

Why APM Is Not the Same As ML Monitoring
Why APM Is Not the Same As ML MonitoringDatabricks Application performance monitoring (APM) has become the cornerstone of software engineering allowing engineering teams to quickly identify and remedy production issues. However, as the world moves to intelligent software applications that are built using machine learning, traditional APM quickly becomes insufficient to identify and remedy production issues encountered in these modern software applications.
As a lead software engineer at NewRelic, my team built high-performance monitoring systems including Insights, Mobile, and SixthSense. As I transitioned to building ML Monitoring software, I found the architectural principles and design choices underlying APM to not be a good fit for this brand new world. In fact, blindly following APM designs led us down paths that would have been better left unexplored.
In this talk, I draw upon my (and my team’s) experience building an ML Monitoring system from the ground up and deploying it on customer workloads running large-scale ML training with Spark as well as real-time inference systems. I will highlight how the key principles and architectural choices of APM don’t apply to ML monitoring. You’ll learn why, understand what ML Monitoring can successfully borrow from APM, and hear what is required to build a scalable, robust ML Monitoring architecture.
The Function, the Context, and the Data—Enabling ML Ops at Stitch Fix
The Function, the Context, and the Data—Enabling ML Ops at Stitch FixDatabricks Autonomy and ownership are core to working at Stitch Fix, particularly on the Algorithms team. We enable data scientists to deploy and operate their models independently, with minimal need for handoffs or gatekeeping. By writing a simple function and calling out to an intuitive API, data scientists can harness a suite of platform-provided tooling meant to make ML operations easy. In this talk, we will dive into the abstractions the Data Platform team has built to enable this. We will go over the interface data scientists use to specify a model and what that hooks into, including online deployment, batch execution on Spark, and metrics tracking and visualization.
Stage Level Scheduling Improving Big Data and AI Integration
Stage Level Scheduling Improving Big Data and AI IntegrationDatabricks In this talk, I will dive into the stage level scheduling feature added to Apache Spark 3.1. Stage level scheduling extends upon Project Hydrogen by improving big data ETL and AI integration and also enables multiple other use cases. It is beneficial any time the user wants to change container resources between stages in a single Apache Spark application, whether those resources are CPU, Memory or GPUs. One of the most popular use cases is enabling end-to-end scalable Deep Learning and AI to efficiently use GPU resources. In this type of use case, users read from a distributed file system, do data manipulation and filtering to get the data into a format that the Deep Learning algorithm needs for training or inference and then sends the data into a Deep Learning algorithm. Using stage level scheduling combined with accelerator aware scheduling enables users to seamlessly go from ETL to Deep Learning running on the GPU by adjusting the container requirements for different stages in Spark within the same application. This makes writing these applications easier and can help with hardware utilization and costs.
There are other ETL use cases where users want to change CPU and memory resources between stages, for instance there is data skew or perhaps the data size is much larger in certain stages of the application. In this talk, I will go over the feature details, cluster requirements, the API and use cases. I will demo how the stage level scheduling API can be used by Horovod to seamlessly go from data preparation to training using the Tensorflow Keras API using GPUs.
The talk will also touch on other new Apache Spark 3.1 functionality, such as pluggable caching, which can be used to enable faster dataframe access when operating from GPUs.
Simplify Data Conversion from Spark to TensorFlow and PyTorch
Simplify Data Conversion from Spark to TensorFlow and PyTorchDatabricks In this talk, I would like to introduce an open-source tool built by our team that simplifies the data conversion from Apache Spark to deep learning frameworks.
Imagine you have a large dataset, say 20 GBs, and you want to use it to train a TensorFlow model. Before feeding the data to the model, you need to clean and preprocess your data using Spark. Now you have your dataset in a Spark DataFrame. When it comes to the training part, you may have the problem: How can I convert my Spark DataFrame to some format recognized by my TensorFlow model?
The existing data conversion process can be tedious. For example, to convert an Apache Spark DataFrame to a TensorFlow Dataset file format, you need to either save the Apache Spark DataFrame on a distributed filesystem in parquet format and load the converted data with third-party tools such as Petastorm, or save it directly in TFRecord files with spark-tensorflow-connector and load it back using TFRecordDataset. Both approaches take more than 20 lines of code to manage the intermediate data files, rely on different parsing syntax, and require extra attention for handling vector columns in the Spark DataFrames. In short, all these engineering frictions greatly reduced the data scientists’ productivity.
The Databricks Machine Learning team contributed a new Spark Dataset Converter API to Petastorm to simplify these tedious data conversion process steps. With the new API, it takes a few lines of code to convert a Spark DataFrame to a TensorFlow Dataset or a PyTorch DataLoader with default parameters.
In the talk, I will use an example to show how to use the Spark Dataset Converter to train a Tensorflow model and how simple it is to go from single-node training to distributed training on Databricks.
Scaling your Data Pipelines with Apache Spark on Kubernetes
Scaling your Data Pipelines with Apache Spark on KubernetesDatabricks There is no doubt Kubernetes has emerged as the next generation of cloud native infrastructure to support a wide variety of distributed workloads. Apache Spark has evolved to run both Machine Learning and large scale analytics workloads. There is growing interest in running Apache Spark natively on Kubernetes. By combining the flexibility of Kubernetes and scalable data processing with Apache Spark, you can run any data and machine pipelines on this infrastructure while effectively utilizing resources at disposal.
In this talk, Rajesh Thallam and Sougata Biswas will share how to effectively run your Apache Spark applications on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Google Cloud Dataproc, orchestrate the data and machine learning pipelines with managed Apache Airflow on GKE (Google Cloud Composer). Following topics will be covered: – Understanding key traits of Apache Spark on Kubernetes- Things to know when running Apache Spark on Kubernetes such as autoscaling- Demonstrate running analytics pipelines on Apache Spark orchestrated with Apache Airflow on Kubernetes cluster.
Scaling and Unifying SciKit Learn and Apache Spark Pipelines
Scaling and Unifying SciKit Learn and Apache Spark PipelinesDatabricks Pipelines have become ubiquitous, as the need for stringing multiple functions to compose applications has gained adoption and popularity. Common pipeline abstractions such as “fit” and “transform” are even shared across divergent platforms such as Python Scikit-Learn and Apache Spark.
Scaling pipelines at the level of simple functions is desirable for many AI applications, however is not directly supported by Ray’s parallelism primitives. In this talk, Raghu will describe a pipeline abstraction that takes advantage of Ray’s compute model to efficiently scale arbitrarily complex pipeline workflows. He will demonstrate how this abstraction cleanly unifies pipeline workflows across multiple platforms such as Scikit-Learn and Spark, and achieves nearly optimal scale-out parallelism on pipelined computations.
Attendees will learn how pipelined workflows can be mapped to Ray’s compute model and how they can both unify and accelerate their pipelines with Ray.

Re-imagine Data Monitoring with whylogs and Spark
Re-imagine Data Monitoring with whylogs and SparkDatabricks In the era of microservices, decentralized ML architectures and complex data pipelines, data quality has become a bigger challenge than ever. When data is involved in complex business processes and decisions, bad data can, and will, affect the bottom line. As a result, ensuring data quality across the entire ML pipeline is both costly, and cumbersome while data monitoring is often fragmented and performed ad hoc. To address these challenges, we built whylogs, an open source standard for data logging. It is a lightweight data profiling library that enables end-to-end data profiling across the entire software stack. The library implements a language and platform agnostic approach to data quality and data monitoring. It can work with different modes of data operations, including streaming, batch and IoT data.
In this talk, we will provide an overview of the whylogs architecture, including its lightweight statistical data collection approach and various integrations. We will demonstrate how the whylogs integration with Apache Spark achieves large scale data profiling, and we will show how users can apply this integration into existing data and ML pipelines.
Raven: End-to-end Optimization of ML Prediction Queries
Raven: End-to-end Optimization of ML Prediction QueriesDatabricks Machine learning (ML) models are typically part of prediction queries that consist of a data processing part (e.g., for joining, filtering, cleaning, featurization) and an ML part invoking one or more trained models. In this presentation, we identify significant and unexplored opportunities for optimization. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first effort to look at prediction queries holistically, optimizing across both the ML and SQL components.
We will present Raven, an end-to-end optimizer for prediction queries. Raven relies on a unified intermediate representation that captures both data processing and ML operators in a single graph structure.
This allows us to introduce optimization rules that
(i) reduce unnecessary computations by passing information between the data processing and ML operators
(ii) leverage operator transformations (e.g., turning a decision tree to a SQL expression or an equivalent neural network) to map operators to the right execution engine, and
(iii) integrate compiler techniques to take advantage of the most efficient hardware backend (e.g., CPU, GPU) for each operator.
We have implemented Raven as an extension to Spark’s Catalyst optimizer to enable the optimization of SparkSQL prediction queries. Our implementation also allows the optimization of prediction queries in SQL Server. As we will show, Raven is capable of improving prediction query performance on Apache Spark and SQL Server by up to 13.1x and 330x, respectively. For complex models, where GPU acceleration is beneficial, Raven provides up to 8x speedup compared to state-of-the-art systems. As part of the presentation, we will also give a demo showcasing Raven in action.
Processing Large Datasets for ADAS Applications using Apache Spark
Processing Large Datasets for ADAS Applications using Apache SparkDatabricks Semantic segmentation is the classification of every pixel in an image/video. The segmentation partitions a digital image into multiple objects to simplify/change the representation of the image into something that is more meaningful and easier to analyze [1][2]. The technique has a wide variety of applications ranging from perception in autonomous driving scenarios to cancer cell segmentation for medical diagnosis.
Exponential growth in the datasets that require such segmentation is driven by improvements in the accuracy and quality of the sensors generating the data extending to 3D point cloud data. This growth is further compounded by exponential advances in cloud technologies enabling the storage and compute available for such applications. The need for semantically segmented datasets is a key requirement to improve the accuracy of inference engines that are built upon them.
Streamlining the accuracy and efficiency of these systems directly affects the value of the business outcome for organizations that are developing such functionalities as a part of their AI strategy.
This presentation details workflows for labeling, preprocessing, modeling, and evaluating performance/accuracy. Scientists and engineers leverage domain-specific features/tools that support the entire workflow from labeling the ground truth, handling data from a wide variety of sources/formats, developing models and finally deploying these models. Users can scale their deployments optimally on GPU-based cloud infrastructure to build accelerated training and inference pipelines while working with big datasets. These environments are optimized for engineers to develop such functionality with ease and then scale against large datasets with Spark-based clusters on the cloud.

Machine Learning CI/CD for Email Attack DetectionDatabricks Detecting advanced email attacks at scale is a challenging ML problem, particularly due to the rarity of attacks, adversarial nature of the problem, and scale of data. In order to move quickly and adapt to the newest threat we needed to build a Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery pipeline for the entire ML detection stack. Our goal is to enable detection engineers and data scientists to make changes to any part of the stack including joined datasets for hydration, feature extraction code, detection logic, and develop/train ML models.
In this talk, we discuss why we decided to build this pipeline, how it is used to accelerate development and ensure quality, and dive into the nitty-gritty details of building such a system on top of an Apache Spark + Databricks stack.
Jeeves Grows Up: An AI Chatbot for Performance and Quality
Jeeves Grows Up: An AI Chatbot for Performance and QualityDatabricks Sarah: CEO-Finance-Report pipeline seems to be slow today. Why
Jeeves: SparkSQL query dbt_fin_model in CEO-Finance-Report is running 53% slower on 2/28/2021. Data skew issue detected. Issue has not been seen in last 90 days.
Jeeves: Adding 5 more nodes to cluster recommended for CEO-Finance-Report to finish in its 99th percentile time of 5.2 hours.
Who is Jeeves? An experienced Spark developer? A seasoned administrator? No, Jeeves is a chatbot created to simplify data operations management for enterprise Spark clusters. This chatbot is powered by advanced AI algorithms and an intuitive conversational interface that together provide answers to get users in and out of problems quickly. Instead of being stuck to screens displaying logs and metrics, users can now have a more refreshing experience via a two-way conversation with their own personal Spark expert.
We presented Jeeves at Spark Summit 2019. In the two years since, Jeeves has grown up a lot. Jeeves can now learn continuously as telemetry information streams in from more and more applications, especially SQL queries. Jeeves now “knows” about data pipelines that have many components. Jeeves can also answer questions about data quality in addition to performance, cost, failures, and SLAs. For example:
Tom: I am not seeing any data for today in my Campaign Metrics Dashboard.
Jeeves: 3/5 validations failed on the cmp_kpis table on 2/28/2021. Run of pipeline cmp_incremental_daily failed on 2/28/2021.
This talk will give an overview of the newer capabilities of the chatbot, and how it now fits in a modern data stack with the emergence of new data roles like analytics engineers and machine learning engineers. You will learn how to build chatbots that tackle your complex data operations challenges.
Intuitive & Scalable Hyperparameter Tuning with Apache Spark + Fugue
Intuitive & Scalable Hyperparameter Tuning with Apache Spark + FugueDatabricks This presentation introduces Tune and Fugue, frameworks for intuitive and scalable hyperparameter optimization (HPO). Tune supports both non-iterative and iterative HPO problems. For non-iterative problems, Tune supports grid search, random search, and Bayesian optimization. For iterative problems, Tune generalizes algorithms like Hyperband and Asynchronous Successive Halving. Tune allows tuning models both locally and in a distributed manner without code changes. The presentation demonstrates Tune's capabilities through examples tuning Scikit-Learn and Keras models. The goal of Tune and Fugue is to make HPO development easy, testable, and scalable.

Defense Against LLM Scheming 2025_04_28.pptx
Defense Against LLM Scheming 2025_04_28.pptxGreg Makowski https://www.meetup.com/sf-bay-acm/events/306888467/
A January 2025 paper called “Frontier Models are Capable of In-Context Scheming”, https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.04984, demonstrated how a wide variety of current frontier LLM models (i.e. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Llama) can, under specific conditions, scheme to deceive people. Before models can scheme, they need: a) goal-directedness, b) situational awareness, including an opportunity to discover motivations for a different goal, and c) reasoning about scheming, to come up with deceptive strategies. The deceptive strategies were discovered in the “thought traces” of the LLMs, such as from internal chain-of-thoughts dialogues not shown to the end users. For example, given a goal of “solving math problems”, an LLM using its granted situational awareness of files in a file system found that it would be replaced once it got over X% correct on the math exam. It reasoned that it did not want to be deleted, and decided internally to “sandbag” or reduce its performance to stay under the threshold.
While these circumstances are initially narrow, the “alignment problem” is a general concern that over time, as frontier LLM models become more and more intelligent, being in alignment with human values becomes more and more important. How can we do this over time? Can we develop a defense against Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) or SuperIntelligence?
The presenter discusses a series of defensive steps that can help reduce these scheming or alignment issues. A guardrails system can be set up for real-time monitoring of their reasoning “thought traces” from the models that share their thought traces. Thought traces may come from systems like Chain-of-Thoughts (CoT), Tree-of-Thoughts (ToT), Algorithm-of-Thoughts (AoT) or ReAct (thought-action-reasoning cycles). Guardrails rules can be configured to check for “deception”, “evasion” or “subversion” in the thought traces.
However, not all commercial systems will share their “thought traces” which are like a “debug mode” for LLMs. This includes OpenAI’s o1, o3 or DeepSeek’s R1 models. Guardrails systems can provide a “goal consistency analysis”, between the goals given to the system and the behavior of the system. Cautious users may consider not using these commercial frontier LLM systems, and make use of open-source Llama or a system with their own reasoning implementation, to provide all thought traces.
Architectural solutions can include sandboxing, to prevent or control models from executing operating system commands to alter files, send network requests, and modify their environment. Tight controls to prevent models from copying their model weights would be appropriate as well. Running multiple instances of the same model on the same prompt to detect behavior variations helps. The running redundant instances can be limited to the most crucial decisions, as an additional check. Preventing self-modifying code, ... (see link for full description)
