From Innovation to Deployment

Auto AI and Machine Learning Systems Design

Neil D. Lawrence

The Alan Turing Institute Fellows Welcome Event

The Promise of AI

  • Automation forces humans to adapt, we serve.

  • We can only automate by systemizing and controlling environment.

  • AI promises to be first wave of automation that adapts to us rather than us to it.

That Promise …

… will remain unfulfilled with current systems design.

Challenge

It used to be true that computers only did what we programmed them to do, but today AI systems are learning from our data. This introduces new problems in how these systems respond to their environment.

We need to better monitor how data is influencing decision making and take corrective action as required.

Aim

  • Scale safe and reliable AI solutions.
  • Move from Auto ML to Auto AI
  • Bayesian Optimisation to Bayesian System Optimisation

Turing AI Fellowship

Motivating Examples

SafeBoda

SafeBoda

With road accidents set to match HIV/AIDS as the highest cause of death in low/middle income countries by 2030, SafeBoda’s aim is to modernise informal transportation and ensure safe access to mobility.

The Three Ds of Machine Learning Systems Design

  • Three primary challenges of Machine Learning Systems Design.
  1. Decomposition
  2. Data
  3. Deployment

Computer Science Paradigm Shift

  • Von Neuman Architecture:
    • Code and data integrated in memory
  • Today:
    • Code and data separated for security

Computer Science Paradigm Shift

  • Machine learning:
    • Software is data
  • Machine learning is a high level breach of the code/data separation.

Bayesian System Optimization

  • Aim: maintain interpretable components.
  • Monitor downstream/upstream effects through emulation.
  • Optimize individual components considering upstream and downstream.

Auto AI

  • Auto ML is great but not sufficient
  • Interacting components in an ML system
  • Identify problems, and automatically deploy solutions

Conclusion

  • Challenges in decomposition, data and model deployment for ML.
  • Data oriented architectures and data first thinking are the solution.
  • Data oriented programming creates systems that are ready to deploy.
  • Opens the door to AutoAI and information dynamics analysis.

Thanks!

APPENDIX

The Three Ds of Machine Learning Systems Design

  • Three primary challenges of Machine Learning Systems Design.
  1. Decomposition
  2. Data
  3. Deployment

Decomposition

  • ML is not Magical Pixie Dust.
  • It cannot be sprinkled thoughtlessly.
  • We cannot simply automate all decisions through data

Decomposition

We are constrained by:

  1. Our data.
  2. The models.

Decomposition of Task

  • Careful thought needs to be put into sub-processes of task.
  • Any repetitive task is a candidate for automation.

Pigeonholing

Pigeonholing

  1. Can we decompose decision we need to repetitive sub-tasks where inputs and outputs are well defined?
  2. Are those repetitive sub-tasks well represent by a mathematical mapping?

A Trap

  • Over emphasis on the type of model we’re deploying.
  • Under emphasis on the appropriateness of the task decomposition.

Chicken and Egg

Co-evolution

  • Absolute decomposition is impossible.
  • If we deploy a weak component in one place, downstream system will compensate.
  • Systems co-evolve … there is no simple solution
  • Trade off between performance and decomposability.
    • Need to monitor deployment

Data

  • Hard to overstate its importance.
  • Half the equation of \(\text{data} + \text{model}\).
  • Often utterly neglected.

Data Neglect

  • Arises for two reasons.
    1. Data cleaning is perceived as tedious.
    2. Data cleaning is complex.

Data Cleaning

  • Seems difficult to formulate into readily teachable princples.
  • Heavily neglected in data science, statistics and ML courses.
  • In practice most scientists spend around 80% of time data cleaning.

The Software Crisis

The major cause of the software crisis is that the machines have become several orders of magnitude more powerful! To put it quite bluntly: as long as there were no machines, programming was no problem at all; when we had a few weak computers, programming became a mild problem, and now we have gigantic computers, programming has become an equally gigantic problem.

Edsger Dijkstra (1930-2002), The Humble Programmer

The Data Crisis

The major cause of the data crisis is that machines have become more interconnected than ever before. Data access is therefore cheap, but data quality is often poor. What we need is cheap high-quality data. That implies that we develop processes for improving and verifying data quality that are efficient.

There would seem to be two ways for improving efficiency. Firstly, we should not duplicate work. Secondly, where possible we should automate work.

Data Readiness Levels

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1705.02245.pdf Data Readiness Levels (Lawrence, 2017)

Three Grades of Data Readiness

  • Grade C - accessibility
    • Transition: data becomes electronically available
  • Grade B - validity
    • Transition: pose a question to the data.
  • Grade A - usability

Data Science as Debugging

80/20 in Data Science

  • Anecdotally for a given challenge
    • 80% of time is spent on data wrangling.
    • 20% of time spent on modelling.
  • Many companies employ ML Engineers focussing on models not data.

Deployment

Premise

Our machine learning is based on a software systems view that is 20 years out of date.

Continuous Deployment

  • Deployment of modeling code.
  • Data dependent models in production need continuous monitoring.
  • Continous monitoring implies statistical tests rather than classic software tests.

Continuous Monitoring

  • Continuous deployment:
    • We’ve changed the code, we should test the effect.
  • Continuous Monitoring:
    • The world around us is changing, we should monitor the effect.
  • Update our notions of testing: progression testing

Data Oriented Architectures

  • Convert data to a first-class citizen.
  • View system as operations on data streams.
  • Expose data operations in a programmatic way.

Data Orientated Architectures

  • Historically we’ve been software first
    • A necessary but not sufficient condition for data first
  • Move from
    1. service orientated architectures
    2. data orientated architectures

Streaming System

  • Move from pull updates to push updates.
  • Operate on rows rather than columns.
  • Lead to stateless logic: persistence handled by system.
  • Example Apache Kafka + Apache Flink

Streaming Architectures

  • AWS Kinesis, Apache Kafka
  • Not just about streaming
    • Nodes in the architecture are stateless
    • They persist through storing state on streams
  • This brings the data inside out

Join

stream.join(otherStream)
    .where(<KeySelector>)
    .equalTo(<KeySelector>)
    .window(<WindowAssigner>)
    .apply(<JoinFunction>)

Milan

  • Data Oriented Programming Language and runtime.
  • DSL Embedded in Scala converts to an intermediate langugage.
  • Intermediate language for compilation on different platforms (currently Flink)

https://github.com/amzn/milan

Trading System

  • High frequency share trading.
  • Stream of prices with millisecond updates.
  • Trades required on millisecond time line

Real Price

Future Price

Hypothetical Streams

  • Real stream — share prices
    • derived hypothetical stream — share prices in future.
  • Hypothetical constrained by
    • input constraints.
    • decision functional
    • computational requirements (latency)

Hypothetical Advantage

  • Modelling is now required.
  • But modelling is declared in the ecosystem.
  • If it’s manual, warnings can be used
    • calibration, fairness, dataset shift
  • Opens door to Auto AI.

Ride Sharing: Service Oriented

Ride Sharing: Data Oriented

Ride Sharing: Hypothetical

Information Dynamics

  • Potential for information feedback loops.
  • Hypothetical streams are instantiated.
  • Nature hypothesis (e.g. price prediction) can effect reality.
  • Leads to information dynamics, similar to dynamics of governors.
  • See e.g. Closed Loop Data Science at Glasgow.
