Searching the Sky for Neural Networks

Sky computing is a new computing paradigm leveraging resources of multiple Cloud providers to create a large-scale distributed infrastructure. N2Sky is a research initiative promising a framework for the utilization of Neural Networks as services across many Clouds integrating into a Sky. This involves a number of challenges ranging from the provision, discovery and utilization of N2Sky services to the management, monitoring, metering and accounting of the N2Sky infrastructure. This paper focuses on the semantic discovery of N2Sky services through a human-centered querying mechanism termed as N2Query. N2Query allows N2Sky users to specify their problem statement as natural language queries. In response to the natural language queries, it delivers a list of ranked neural network services to the user as a solution to their stated problem. The search algorithm of N2Query is based on the semantic mapping of ontologies referring to problem and solution domains.
