Title: On-The-Fly Machine Learning

Abstract:
On-The-Fly (OTF) Computing is a novel computing paradigm that aims at the provision of individually configured software services in a market environment that comprises so-called OTF providers, service providers, and end-users as main participants. As a specific instantiation of this paradigm, On-The-Fly Machine Learning (OTF-ML) refers to the on-the-fly selection, configuration, provision, and execution of machine learning and data analytics functionality as requested by an end-user. As such, OTF-ML can be seen as an extension of the idea of automated machine learning (Auto-ML). In this talk, we outline the vision of OTF-ML, elaborate on several methodological challenges it involves, and present first attempts at addressing these challenges. In particular, this includes the use of techniques from AI planning to tackle the service composition task, i.e., to select, compose, and parametrize machine learning pipelines, and the idea of capitalizing on previously solved service requests (and possible feedback by the users) to enhance future ML service composition.
