Not only do computational resources disappear without warning (e.g. due to machine failure), modern resource managers also re-negotiate the available resources while a job is running: Additional machines may have become available or already reserved ones have been re-assigned to other jobs. We show how to formalize this problem and present an initial approach for linear learners.}, publisher = {NIPS 2013 BigLearn Workshop}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/towards-resource-elastic-machine-learning/}, }
