PROFILE

Soumi De

Soumide worked on the lanl/Yoke repository, building and refining distributed deep learning workflows for reward network training. Over six months, Soumide delivered features such as NPZ-based data loaders, scalable multi-GPU and DDP training harnesses, and dynamic learning rate scheduling, all aimed at improving throughput and reproducibility. The engineering approach emphasized clean code, robust testing with Pytest, and maintainable configuration using Python and SLURM scripting. Soumide addressed stability and debugging challenges by resolving memory errors, enhancing documentation, and standardizing training scripts. This work enabled faster experimentation, more reliable convergence, and efficient resource utilization across high-performance computing environments.

June 2025 performance summary for lanl/Yoke: Focused modernization and stabilization of the reward-training workflow, delivering a cleaner harness, dynamic optimization, and stronger test coverage that enable faster experimentation with improved convergence and lower maintenance overhead. Key outcomes: - LSC Reward Network Harness Upgrade and Cleanup: Introduced the ch_lsc_reward harness, consolidated training infrastructure, removed the deprecated chicoma_lsc_reward module, updated SLURM and input configurations, and adjusted training script parameters (image size 800). A symlink-based approach was adopted to reduce churn and maintenance; obsolete Chicoma files and commented code were removed. - Learning Rate Scheduling for Reward Training: Implemented a per-step learning rate scheduler with configurable hyperparameters, integrated into the reward training path, updated scheduling parameters in the CSV, and added a toggle to enable/disable the scheduler; eliminated redundant scheduler increments for correctness. - Testing, Reliability, and Evaluation Coverage: Expanded tests for reward functions and evaluation steps, improved test infra, and addressed linting issues to raise code quality; pytest noise was silenced to stabilize CI pipelines. - Cross-cutting maintainability and consistency: Alignments with policy-network harness naming, reduced technical debt through cleanup, and streamlined configuration/infra changes to support ongoing experimentation with minimal overhead. Impact and business value: - Faster experimentation cycles and more reliable training convergence due to the LR scheduler and cleaner harness. - Reduced maintenance overhead via consolidation, deprecation removal, and stronger test infrastructure. - Improved resource efficiency and scalability as a result of standardized SLURM/input configurations and a cleaner training pipeline. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - RL harness design and refactor, Python-based training loops, per-step LR scheduling, SLURM configuration, test-driven development, linting/CI hygiene, and cross-repo standardization.

Apr 1, 2025

April 2025 delivered two major feature sets for lanl/Yoke, focusing on robust data ingestion, scalable training workflows, and overall code quality to accelerate experimentation and improve reliability. The Dataset Loading Pipeline Enhancements introduced an NPZ-based data loader, robust labeled data handling, and improved path resolution for CSV/NPZ sources, complemented by targeted linting and quality improvements across the dataset module. The Training Pipeline and Resource Configuration Enhancements added a reward-network training harness, multi-GPU configurations, and SLURM adjustments to streamline scalable experiments, along with training-script hygiene. In addition, targeted bug fixes and documentation updates reduced data-prep friction and stabilized end-to-end runs. This work improves throughput, reproducibility, and business value by enabling faster, more reliable model iteration across larger compute resources.
