Abstract: A placement plan for training state checkpoints of a machine learning model is generated based at least in part on a number of training servers of a distributed training environment. The plan indicates, with respect to an individual server, one or more other servers at which replicas of training state checkpoints of the individual server are to be stored. During selected periods of one or more training iterations of the model, respective portions of a replica of a training state checkpoint of a first server are transmitted to a second server selected based on the placement plan. After an event causes disruption of the training iterations, one of the checkpoints generated at the first server is retrieved from the second server and used to resume the training iterations.

Abstract: An online system receives content items, for example, from content providers and sends the content items to users. The online system uses machine-learning models for predicting whether a user is likely to interact with a content item. The online system uses stored user interactions to measure the model performance to determine whether the model can be used online. The online system determines a baseline model using stored user interactions. The online system determines whether the machine-learning model performs better than the baseline model or worse for each content provider. The online system determines whether to approve the model for online use based on an aggregate normalized performance metric, for example, a metric representing the fraction of content providers for which the model performs better than the baseline. If the online system determines to reject the model, the online system retrains the model.
