This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program provides $600,000 to the University of Michigan to develop a new analytical method for analyzing large-scale stochastic systems from July 2022 to June 2025. The method aims to obtain non-asymptotic performance bounds for stochastic networks and systems using Lyapunov drift analysis combined with ideas from Stein's method, dimensionality reduction, and reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. It will be applied to robust computing networks supporting complex machine learning jobs on heterogeneous servers and to derive new performance bounds for neural temporal-difference learning and actor-critic algorithms in deep reinforcement learning. The research leverages three key ideas—Stein's method, state-space collapse, and moment-generating or characteristic functions as test functions—to advance the state of the art in analyzing large stochastic systems critical to machine learning and cloud computing applications.
