5 results for nondeterminism

Proposes incorporating noise sources in machine learning evaluation for more reliable conclusions.

problem Inadequate handling of nondeterminism in machine learning research leads to unreliable results.
method Uses linear mixed effects models (LMEMs) and generalized likelihood ratio tests (GLRT) to analyze performance evaluation scores and assess performance differences.
result Demonstrates how to incorporate various sources of noise and data properties into statistical significance testing and reliability analysis.

New method reduces discrete flow transitions, improving perplexity estimation.

problem Stochasticity in discrete paths makes rectification strategies ineffective.
method Dynamic-optimal-transport-like minimization objective with minibatch strategies.
result 32 times reduction in transitions for same perplexity.

New method ensures consistent inference across different tensor parallel sizes for large language models.

problem Non-deterministic inference in large language models due to inconsistent reduction orders across GPUs.
method Tree-Based Invariant Kernels (TBIK) that align intra- and inter-GPU reduction orders through a unified hierarchical binary tree structure.
result Bit-wise identical results across different tensor parallel sizes for RL training.
