Abstract
System designers constantly struggle with this question -- Should DNNs/RL be used to solve systems problems? This talk presents a specific study of one particular systems problem we addressed recently (model parallelism), and our lessons learned. I will also give a (brief) overview of my group's highly collaborative research progress in "Distributed Systems + X."
