Infra

Make machine learning more reproducible and easier to manage for the broader community by building logging tools and recommending approaches for tracking and operating machine learning systems. 

Connect with us:

Purpose


Across MLCommons projects, we strive to simplify user experience by providing a unified set of tools. Centralized logging tools are especially critical because they simplify rules compliance and ensure that all vendor submissions for MLPerf benchmarks are easy to debug and capture the relevant ML system details.

The Infra working group strives to improve reproducibility of results and automation of documentation about results. By understanding system-level specs and increasing reproducibility, we can start to build a more detailed matrix of performance-impacting factors. By improving automation, we can improve user experience and verify that each vendor submission includes requisite information.

Deliverables


  • Logging and reporting tools for MLCommons projects
  • Logging metrics and format
  • Definition and examples of system specs
  • Roadmap for unified logging tools across MLCommons projects aligned with inference, training, best practices, etc. roadmaps
  • Best practices for MLPerf training and inference result reproducibility
