Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for an adaptive pipelining composition service that can identify and incorporate one or more new models into the machine learning application. The machine learning application with the new model can be tested off-line with the results being compared with ground truth data. If the machine learning application with the new model outperforms the previously used model, the machine learning application can be upgraded and auto-promoted to production. One or more parameters may also be discovered. The new parameters may be incorporated into the existing model in an off-line mode. The machine learning application with the new parameters can be tested off-line and the results can be compared with previous results with existing parameters. If the new parameters outperform the existing parameters as compared with ground-truth data, the machine learning application can be auto-promoted to production.

Abstract: A server system may receive two or more Quality of Service (QoS) dimensions for the multi-objective optimization model, wherein the two or more QoS dimensions include at least a first QoS dimension and a second QoS dimension. The server system may maximize the multi-objective optimization model along the first QoS dimension, wherein the maximizing includes selecting one or more pipelines for the multi-objective optimization model in the software architecture that meet QoS expectations specified for the first QoS dimension and the second QoS dimension, wherein an ordering of the pipelines is dependent on which QoS dimensions were optimized and de-optimized and to what extent, wherein the multi-objective optimization model is partially de-optimized along the second QoS dimension in order to comply with the QoS expectations for the first QoS dimension, and whereby there is a tradeoff between the first QoS dimension and the second QoS dimension.

Abstract: A system and method for self-aligning and connecting a device to a modular rack. The system includes a device comprising a connector receptacle configured to receive a connector plug, a connector seal and a bracket fixed to the device, a modular rack comprising the connector plug, a connector shell seal and a shelf configured to receive the bracket and guide the shelf in a plurality of directions. When the bracket of the device is inserted into the shelf of the modular rack, the shelf travels in the plurality of directions to self-align the connector plug of the modular rack to the connector receptacle of the device to ensure engagement of the connector plug to the connector receptacle. The connector seal is biased towards the connector shell seal to create a seal and ensure engagement of the connector plug relative to the connector receptacle.
