SysML World Cup? • Purpose? • Unleash ML researchers to solve systems problems? • Frame the problems more rigorously? • Shape some benchmarks to shape the field? • Win the prize? • Who will play? Peter Bonik, Jeff Chase, Nitesh Chawla, Rebecca Isaacs, Emre Kiciman
Why a new game? • There are existing annual “cup” challenges in the ML community. • KDD • Why not offer “packaged” systems challenges to KDD cup? • Would meet most of the goals. • How much of the domain knowledge / structure / context can/should we “launder out”? • How black are the boxes? • Which is harder: defining the problem or finding the solution?
Nature of the challenges • What makes the systems problems interesting to ML researchers? What are the unique / interesting / hard aspects of these problems? • Self-optimizing adaptation • Self-healing unbalanced training sets • Dueling control loops • Risk management? (reasoning about probabilities)
More Q than A • How to frame a SysML cup challenge? • How much domain context? • Do the “clusters” of research in this area lead to multiple separate challenges? • Show me the data! • And supersize me. • How to frame the “why button” as a Grand Challenge? • More wine?
