Abstract: A retraining monitoring system maintains the sustainability of a production machine learning (ML) model system that includes a production ML model retraining platform. The retraining monitoring system collects contextual data from the production ML model system and determines if one or more of a currently-selected architectural options has to be changed for sustainability. An architectural option of the production ML model retraining platform, such as, a processing location is selected from a cloud retraining platform or an on-premises retraining platform by a selection process based on a multi-armed bandit problem. An evaluation of the retraining architecture is dealt with as a reinforcement learning problem to implement one of a periodic retraining architecture or a reactive retraining architecture.

Further, association rules for historical tradeoff instances for which decisions are not known, and a decision tree for historical tradeoff instances for which decisions are known may be generated.

The decision rules and the default rules may be refined to generate refined rules, and a confidence level may be determined for the refined rules. The refined rules may be prioritized based on the confidence level and applied to a new tradeoff instance to generate a resolution associated with the new tradeoff instance. The resolution may be implemented with respect to the new tradeoff instance.
