Root Cause Analysis of Failures in Microservices through Causal Discovery

Neural Information Processing Systems

Our solution is application agnostic and relies only on the data collected for diagnosis. For the evaluation, we compare the proposed solution with a modified version of the PC algorithm and the state-of-the-art for root cause analysis.

AUPR-Out is similar to AUPR-In. All experiments were repeated five times with the random seed setting from 0 to 4. For SimCLR, We Other parameters are the same as the default settings. The learning rate and weight decay are set to 0.0003 and A.3 Stability of Training We track the relationship between loss and performance on the validation set for U The results are shown in Fig.( 1). Therefore, UOOD's training is not stable Relatively, their detection performance on unknown OOD samples is improved.

Differentiable Optimization of Generalized Nondecomposable Functions using Linear Programs

Neural Information Processing Systems

We propose a framework which makes it feasible to directly train deep neural networks with respect to popular families of task-specific non-decomposable performance measures such as AUC, multi-class AUC, F -measure and others. A feature of the optimization model that emerges from these tasks is that it involves solving a Linear Programs (LP) during training where representations learned by upstream layers characterize the constraints or the feasible set. The constraint matrix is not only large but the constraints are also modified at each iteration. We show how adopting a set of ingenious ideas proposed by Mangasarian for 1-norm SVMs - which advocates for solving LPs with a generalized Newton method - provides a simple and effective solution that can be run on the GPU. In particular, this strategy needs little unrolling, which makes it more efficient during the backward pass. Further, even when the constraint matrix is too large to fit on the GPU memory (say large minibatch settings), we show that running the Newton method in a lower dimensional space yields accurate gradients for training, by utilizing a statistical concept called sufficient dimension reduction. While a number of specialized algorithms have been proposed for the models that we describe here, our module turns out to be applicable without any specific adjustments or relaxations. We describe each use case, study its properties and demonstrate the efficacy of the approach over alternatives which use surrogate lower bounds and often, specialized optimization schemes. Frequently, we achieve superior computational behavior and performance improvements on common datasets used in the literature.

The solid curve in the top panel is the optimal ROC curve. The dashed straight line in the bottom panel is the linear piece that can not be recovered by the weighted method directly. However, after connecting the points linearly, the optimal ROC curve can be recovered.
