Extracting actionable information rapidly from data produced by instruments such as the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS-II) and Advanced Photon Source Upgrade (APS-U) is becoming ever more challenging due to high (up to TB/s) data rates. Conventional physics-based information retrieval methods are hard-pressed to detect interesting events fast enough to enable timely focusing on a rare event or correction of an error. Machine learning~(ML) methods that learn cheap surrogate classifiers present a promising alternative, but can fail catastrophically when changes in instrument or sample result in degradation in ML performance. To overcome such difficulties, we present a new data storage and ML model training architecture designed to organize large volumes of data and models so that when model degradation is detected, prior models and/or data can be queried rapidly and a more suitable model retrieved and fine-tuned for new conditions. We show that our approach can achieve up to 100x data labelling speedup compared to the current state-of-the-art, 200x improvement in training speed, and 92x speedup in-terms of end-to-end model updating time.
