Title: A Taxonomy of Machine Learning for Systems Problems
Abstract: Machine learning has the potential to significantly improve computer systems. While recent research in this area has
shown great promise, not all problems are equally well-suited for applying ML techniques, and some remaining challenges have prevented wider adoption of ML in systems. In this talk, I will introduce a taxonomy to classify machine learning for systems approaches,
discuss how to identify cases that are a good fit for machine learning, and lay out a longer-term vision of how different systems can be improved using ML techniques, ranging from computer architecture to language runtimes.
Bio: Martin Maas is a Staff Research Scientist at Google DeepMind. His research interests are in language runtimes, computer architecture,
systems, and machine learning, with a focus on applying machine learning to systems problems. Before joining Google, Martin completed his PhD in Computer Science at the University of California at Berkeley, where he worked on hardware support for managed languages
and architectural support for memory-trace obliviousness.
