My org is looking to move machine learning to batch as the underlying infra. All I want is to be able to do this: 1) specify a DAG of tasks. Each task is a docker image, CMD string, CPU and memory limits 2) hit an API to run it for me. Each

This is a fairly well represented technique in bayesian hyperparameter optimization, where you train a meta-classifier that keeps track of the parameter space. Kind of like a manager model, if you will, that learns to intelligently optimize

Another lesson about the dangers of relying on a separate team to maintain core part of your software. Not that using dependencies is a bad thing, but one should still be aware of what tradeoff they are making. In terms of a new backend, th
