Project Triptych

Overview

Triptych is an end-to-end model selection management system (MSMS) that aims to simplify and accelerate the process of sourcing data/features and selecting ML models. Our guiding principles are to exploit the semantics of the data and the ML task to the extent possible to reduce work for the data scientist and reduce runtimes and costs. We apply these principles to remove or mitigate different bottlenecks in this end-to-end process, eventually unifying these components to yield an integrated ‘‘operating system’’ for ML analytics tasks. Please refer to the ACM SIGMOD Record paper below for more details of this vision.
