Communication-efficient sparse regression: a one-shot approach

Machine Learning 2015-08-12 v3 Machine Learning

Abstract

We devise a one-shot approach to distributed sparse regression in the high-dimensional setting. The key idea is to average "debiased" or "desparsified" lasso estimators. We show the approach converges at the same rate as the lasso as long as the dataset is not split across too many machines. We also extend the approach to generalized linear models.
