Im trying to reproduce a paper (a very particular kind of diffusion model), and their training regime is incredibly compute heavy.

In general, how are quick experiments performed to validate hypotheses when the models are large and compute is expensive?

Some cursory browsing yields the following:

1. Using only 5-10% of the entire dataset.

2. Drastically reducing the batch size and compensating for it in the learning rate

3. Reducing the number of epochs/iterations.

But I've had to infer these from resources online and what LLMs tell me. Is there anything in addition to/beyond/contradicting these?

During Arjuna's exile, the narrative is that he encounters and marries a Naga Princess, Ulupi.

The name Ulupi is strikingly not Sanskritic. There's no clear etymology (that I can think of) that derives the name at all.

Is she symbolic of the Kuru dynasty marrying into non-vedic/non-sanskrit speaking tribes and polities?

It's particularly strange because other Nagas that we encounter, like Takshaka ("carver") and Vasuki ("radiant") have clean and clear Sanskrit-derived names.
