Interpreting and Improving Optimal Control Problems With Directional Corrections

by AI Generated Robotic ContentFAANGPosted on Comments are Disabled

Many robotics tasks, such as path planning or trajectory optimization, are formulated as optimal control problems (OCPs). The key to obtaining high performance lies in the design of the OCP’s objective function. In practice, the objective function consists of a set of individual components that must be carefully modeled and traded off such that the …

Ray jobs on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod: scalable and resilient distributed AI

by AI Generated Robotic ContentFAANGPosted on Comments are Disabled

Foundation model (FM) training and inference has led to a significant increase in computational needs across the industry. These models require massive amounts of accelerated compute to train and operate effectively, pushing the boundaries of traditional computing infrastructure. They require efficient systems for distributing workloads across multiple GPU accelerated servers, and optimizing developer velocity as …

Imagine a coffee company trying to optimize its supply chain. The company sources beans from three suppliers, roasts them at two facilities into either dark or light coffee, and then ships the roasted coffee to three retail locations. The suppliers have different fixed capacity, and roasting costs and shipping costs vary from place to place.

Universally Instance-Optimal Mechanisms for Private Statistical Estimation

by AI Generated Robotic ContentFAANGPosted on Comments are Disabled

We consider the problem of instance-optimal statistical estimation under the constraint of differential privacy where mechanisms must adapt to the difficulty of the input dataset. We prove a new instance specific lower bound using a new divergence and show it characterizes the local minimax optimal rates for private statistical estimation. We propose two new mechanisms …
