Abstract:
1. A computer-based system for optimizing a data model having a parameter set comprising a plurality of parameters, the system comprising: a master computer system controlling an iterative optimization process for optimizing the parameter set of the data model; a plurality of worker computer systems communicatively coupled to the master computer system, wherein each worker computer system is assigned a respective subset of the parameter set, wherein each worker computer system is assigned a different portion of the parameter set from each other worker computer system, and no worker computer system is assigned the complete parameter set; wherein each of the plurality of worker computer systems is configured to: wherein the master computer system is configured to utilize the results provided by each of the worker computer systems to evaluate the iterative optimization process by determining an overall closeness of fit of the data model to outputs for the set of training data.
