Scalable Inference

Scalable inference focuses on developing efficient methods for performing computations on large datasets and complex models, particularly in machine learning. Current research emphasizes techniques like pipeline and tensor parallelism for large language models, memory-efficient inference strategies for edge devices, and local graph inference for improved scalability in network analysis. These advancements are crucial for deploying sophisticated models in resource-constrained environments and handling massive datasets, impacting fields ranging from cybersecurity and personalized medicine to robotics and natural language processing. The development of novel algorithms and architectures, such as those based on Bayesian methods and hybrid probabilistic logic programming, are key to achieving these goals.
