A Configuration-First Framework for Reproducible, Low-Code Machine Learning: a Localization Use Case

The paper introduces a configuration-first framework called LOCALIZE that streamlines machine learning experimentation by declaring experiments in human-readable configuration files and orchestrating isolated processes for each workflow stage. It version‑controls code, data, configurations, and artifacts, enabling reproducible runs. A qualitative comparison with five platforms and quantitative tests against Jupyter and Kedro show that LOCALIZE reduces code edits while keeping time and memory usage comparable, and scales sublinearly with dataset size.

PipeLive: Efficient Live In-place Pipeline Parallelism Reconfiguration for Dynamic LLM Serving

PipeLive introduces a method for live, in‑place reconfiguration of pipeline parallelism in large language model serving. By redesigning the KV cache layout and extending PageAttention, it enables dynamic resizing of the cache without interrupting inference. The system also uses an incremental KV patching mechanism to keep KV states consistent during reconfiguration, achieving significant reductions in reconfiguration time and improvements in latency metrics.
