AI summary

Contextual computation pipeline recommendation concepts are described. For example, a method can include obtaining an incomplete recommendation matrix that includes first performance data for different computation pipelines with respect to different contextual datasets. The incomplete recommendation matrix lacking second performance data for a defined computation pipeline with respect to a defined contextual dataset. The method can also include segmenting the incomplete recommendation matrix into local low-rank submatrices that lack the second performance data. The method can also include predicting the second performance data for at least one of the local low-rank submatrices to create a completed recommendation matrix that includes the first performance data and the second performance data. The method can also include ranking the defined computation pipeline and/or one or more of the different computation pipelines with respect to the defined contextual dataset and/or one or more of the different contextual datasets based on the completed recommendation matrix.
