Systems and ML at RISELab
In this talk, I will present several of the projects we are developing at RISELab, a two-year old lab at UC Berkeley that focusses on building platforms and algorithms for real-time intelligent decisions, decisions that are secure and explainable. These projects include both systems to better support machine learning (ML) workloads, and leveraging ML to build better systems. In the first category, I will present, Ray, a general-purpose distributed system which provides both task-parallel and actor abstractions. Today, Ray employs the most complete ecosystem of distributed ML libraries. In the second category, I will present Balsa, a system that learns a database query optimizer from scratch, and NeuroCuts, a tool that generates decision trees for network packet classifiers.
