Given the computational cost and technical expertise required to train machine learning models, users may delegate the task of learning to a service provider. We show how a malicious learner can plant an undetectable backdoor into a classifier. On the sur…

Machine Learning (ML) workloads have rapidly grown in importance, but raised concerns about their carbon footprint. Four best practices can reduce ML training energy by up to 100x and CO2 emissions up to 1000x. By following best practices, overall ML ener…

We analyze the type of learned optimization that occurs when a learned model (such as a neural network) is itself an optimizer – a situation we refer to as mesa-optimization, a neologism we introduce in this paper. We believe that the possibility of mesa-…

Disclaimer: Feeling so-and-so about posting this on LW, but given how many people here work in ML or adjacent fields I might as well. …

Some ancient languages that have never been deciphered could be in line for machine translation. …

Software testing, especially in large scale projects, is a time intensive process. Test suites may be computationally expensive, compete with each other for available hardware, or simply be so large as to cause considerable delay until their results are a…
