Can Semi-Supervised Learning Improve Prediction of Deep Learning Model Resource Consumption?

Abstract: As computational demands for deep learning models escalate, accurately predicting training characteristics like training time and memory usage has become crucial. These predictions are essential for optimal hardware resource allocation. Traditional performance prediction methods primarily rely on supervised learning paradigms. Our novel approach, TraPPM (Training characteristics Performance Predictive Model), combines the strengths of unsupervised and supervised learning to enhance prediction accuracy. We use an unsupervised Graph Neural Network (GNN) to extract complex graph representations from unlabeled deep learning architectures. These representations are then integrated with a sophisticated, supervised GNN-based performance regressor. Our hybrid model excels in predicting training characteristics with greater precision. Through empirical evaluation using the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) metric, TraPPM demonstrates notable efficacy. The model achieves a MAPE of 9.51% for predicting training step duration and 4.92% for memory usage estimation. These results affirm TraPPM’s enhanced predictive accuracy, significantly surpassing traditional supervised prediction methods. Code and data are available at: https://github.com/karthickai/trappm
