AI training workloads are growing rapidly, making their time, energy, and infrastructure costs increasingly important. In shared cloud clusters, training and fine-tuning jobs compete with co-running workloads for network resources, while network mechanisms and ML training choices are typically optimized separately: networking controls how bytes move, whereas ML systems control when and how much communication occurs. We argue that this separation leaves end-to-end performance on the table. We present ML-for-ML, a cross-layer perspective in which network-side and ML-side knobs are selected jointly under a shared time-to-target-loss objective. Our preliminary prototype shows that by co-optimizing the ML and network parameters, we reach the target loss up to 42% faster.
In this paper, we propose a dueling double deep Q-network (DDQN)-based adaptive multi-objective handover framework for LEO satellite networks. The proposed method enables dynamic trade-off learning among throughput, blocking probability, and switching cost under time-varying network conditions. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach consistently outperforms conventional baselines, achieving up to 10.3% throughput improvement and near-zero blocking under typical operating conditions.
