What are the advantages and disadvantages of different cross validation ML Model

 

Cross-Validation TechniqueAdvantagesDisadvantages
K-Fold Cross-Validation- Provides a robust estimate of model performance by averaging over multiple folds.<br>- Useful for a wide range of dataset sizes and complexities.<br>- Each data point is used for both training and validation.<br>- Allows for a balance between training and validation data.- Computationally expensive for large datasets or complex models.<br>- May not perform well with imbalanced datasets.<br>- Randomness in fold creation can lead to variability in results.
Stratified K-Fold Cross-Validation- Preserves the class distribution in each fold, making it suitable for imbalanced datasets.<br>- Reduces the risk of obtaining folds with very different class distributions.<br>- Provides a more reliable estimate of model performance for classification tasks.- Can be computationally expensive for large datasets or complex models.<br>- May not be as suitable for regression tasks or non-classification problems.
Leave-One-Out Cross-Validation (LOOCV)- Provides an unbiased estimate of model performance since each sample serves as a validation set once.<br>- Useful for small datasets where the computational cost is not prohibitive.<br>- Minimizes data splitting, which can be advantageous for limited data scenarios.- Extremely computationally expensive for large datasets.<br>- Prone to overfitting with complex models due to small training sets.<br>- May lead to high variance in results due to a single data point validation.
Time Series Cross-Validation- Specifically designed for time series data, preserving temporal order.<br>- Suitable for forecasting and sequential data analysis.<br>- Provides a more realistic estimate of model performance for time-dependent tasks.- Can be challenging to implement correctly with irregular or missing time series data.<br>- Requires careful consideration of window sizes and temporal dynamics.<br>- May not be as applicable to non-time series data.
Leave-P-Out Cross-Validation- Offers a balance between LOOCV and K-Fold CV by allowing you to specify the number of samples to leave out.<br>- Provides a compromise between computational cost and bias/variance trade-off.<br>- Useful for medium-sized datasets with limited computational resources.- The choice of the "p" parameter can impact results, requiring experimentation.<br>- Performance depends on finding an appropriate trade-off between bias and variance.

Training LLM model requires more GPU RAM than storing same LLM

Storing an LLM model and training the same model both require memory, but the memory requirements for training are typically higher than just storing the model. Let's dive into the details: Memory Requirement for Storing the Model: When you store an LLM model, you need to save the weights of the model parameters. Each parameter is typically represented by a 32-bit float (4 bytes). The memory requirement for storing the model weights is calculated by multiplying the number of parameters by 4 bytes. For example, if you have a model with 1 billion parameters, the memory requirement for storing the model weights alone would be 4 GB (4 bytes * 1 billion parameters). Memory Requirement for Training: During the training process, additional components use GPU memory in addition to the model weights. These components include optimizer states, gradients, activations, and temporary variables needed by the training process. These components can require additional memory beyond just storing th...

What is the benefit of using Quantization in LLM

Quantization is a technique used in LLMs (Large Language Models) to reduce the memory requirements for storing and training the model parameters. It involves reducing the precision of the model weights from 32-bit floating-point numbers (FP32) to lower precision formats, such as 16-bit floating-point numbers (FP16) or 8-bit integers (INT8). Bottomline: You can use Quantization to reduce the memory footprint off the model during the training. The usage of quantization in LLMs offers several benefits: Memory Reduction: By reducing the precision of the model weights, quantization significantly reduces the memory footprint required to store the parameters. This is particularly important for LLMs, which can have billions or even trillions of parameters. Quantization allows these models to fit within the memory constraints of GPUs or other hardware accelerators. Training Efficiency: Quantization can also improve the training efficiency of LLMs. Lower precision formats require fewer computati...
