A Survey on Compiler Autotuning using Machine Learning

Since the mid-1990s, researchers have been trying to use machine-learning based approaches to solve a number of different compiler optimization problems. These techniques primarily enhance the quality of the obtained results and, more importantly, make it feasible to tackle two main compiler optimization problems: optimization selection (choosing which optimizations to apply) and phase-ordering (choosing the order of applying optimizations). The compiler optimization space continues to grow due to the advancement of applications, increasing number of compiler optimizations, and new target architectures. Generic optimization passes in compilers cannot fully leverage newly introduced optimizations and, therefore, cannot keep up with the pace of increasing options. This survey summarizes and classifies the recent advances in using machine learning for the compiler optimization field, particularly on the two major problems of (1) selecting the best optimizations and (2) the phase-ordering of optimizations. The survey highlights the approaches taken so far, the obtained results, the fine-grain classification among different approaches and finally, the influential papers of the field.Comment: version 5.0 (updated on September 2018)- Preprint Version For our Accepted Journal @ ACM CSUR 2018 (42 pages) - This survey will be updated quarterly here (Send me your new published papers to be added in the subsequent version) History: Received November 2016; Revised August 2017; Revised February 2018; Accepted March 2018

A System for Accessible Artificial Intelligence

While artificial intelligence (AI) has become widespread, many commercial AI systems are not yet accessible to individual researchers nor the general public due to the deep knowledge of the systems required to use them. We believe that AI has matured to the point where it should be an accessible technology for everyone. We present an ongoing project whose ultimate goal is to deliver an open source, user-friendly AI system that is specialized for machine learning analysis of complex data in the biomedical and health care domains. We discuss how genetic programming can aid in this endeavor, and highlight specific examples where genetic programming has automated machine learning analyses in previous projects.Comment: 14 pages, 5 figures, submitted to Genetic Programming Theory and Practice 2017 worksho

Designing Algorithms for Optimization of Parameters of Functioning of Intelligent System for Radionuclide Myocardial Diagnostics

The influence of the number of complex components of Fast Fourier transformation in analyzing the polar maps of radionuclide examination of myocardium at rest and stress on the functional efficiency of the system of diagnostics of pathologies of myocardium was explored, and there were defined their optimum values in the information sense, which allows increasing the efficiency of the algorithms of forming the diagnostic decision rules by reducing the capacity of the dictionary of features of recognition.The information-extreme sequential cluster algorithms of the selection of the dictionary of features, which contains both quantitative and category features were developed and the results of their work were compared. The modificatios of the algorithms of the selection of the dictionary were suggested, which allows increasing both the search speed of the optimal in the information sense dictionary and reducing its capacity by 40 %. We managed to get the faultless by the training matrix decision rules, the accuracy of which is in the exam mode asymptotically approaches the limit.It was experimentally confirmed that the implementation of the proposed algorithm of the diagnosing system training has allowed to reduce the minimum representative volume of the training matrix from 300 to 81 vectors-implementations of the classes of recognition of the functional myocardium state
