Abstract: Methods and systems for Few-Shot Class-Incremental Learning (FSCIL) that utilizes a combination of Session Specific Prompts (SSP) and hyperbolic distance metrics to enhance session-wise learning and representation of image-text pairings across differing classes. The methods and systems include a base training session where both text and image features are projected into hyperbolic space for accurate class pairing using a cross-entropy loss function. Subsequent incremental sessions incorporate previously learned SSPs to retain and augment the separability of classes while minimizing the trainable parameters. This enhances performance in image-text classification tasks by leveraging a minimalistic approach, achieving higher accuracy with fewer trainable parameters compared to traditional models.

Abstract: A system for automatically generating auto-scaling configurations for graphics processing unit (GPU) models is described. A provides users a platform to perform a load and performance (LnP) test on a model of a GPU of a computing device. The LnP test may result in a set of metrics associated with the GPU model. For example, the metrics may include throughput metrics (e.g., transactions per second (TPS)) and GPU utilization metrics. In some examples, the metrics may be based on a service level agreement (SLA), which may include latency, error rate, and GPU utilization requirements. Based on a scaling threshold determined from the metrics and a utilization requirement, the system may output an auto-scaling configuration for the GPU model. The GPU may operate using the auto-scaling configuration, where the auto-scaling configuration may enable the GPU model to scale up or scale down, for example, based on changes in traffic.
