• Abstract: The problem of predicting the training time of machine learning (ML) models has become extremely relevant in the scientific community. Being able to predict a priori the training time of an ML model would enable the automatic selection of the best model both in terms of energy efficiency and in terms of performance in the context of, for instance, MLOps architectures. In this paper, we present the work we are conducting towards this direction. In particular, we present an extensive empirical study of the Full Parameter Time Complexity (FPTC) approach by Zheng et al., which is, to the best of our knowledge, the only approach formalizing the training time of ML models as a function of both dataset's and model's parameters. We study the formulations proposed for the Logistic Regression and Random Forest classifiers, and we highlight the main strengths and weaknesses of the approach. Finally, we observe how, from the conducted study, the prediction of training time is strictly related to the context (i.e., the involved dataset) and how the FPTC approach is not generalizable.

  "Context is Key" (CiK) is a time series forecasting benchmark that pairs numerical data with diverse types of carefully crafted textual context. We evaluate a range of approaches, including statistical models, time series foundation models, and LLM-based forecasters. Our experiments highlight the importance of incorporating contextual information, demonstrate surprising performance when using LLM-based forecasting models, and also reveal some of their critical shortcomings.

  Federated learning enables joint training of machine learning models from distributed clients without sharing their local data. One key challenge in federated learning is to handle non-identically distributed data across the clients. We propose a novel federated learning framework with projected trajectory regularization (FedPTR) for tackling the data issue.
