We study the fundamental problem of information spreading (also known as gossip) in dynamic networks. In gossip, or more generally, $k$-gossip, there are $k$ pieces of information (or tokens) that are initially present in some nodes and the…
Two widely considered decentralized learning algorithms are Gossip and random walk-based learning. Gossip algorithms (both synchronous and asynchronous versions) suffer from high communication cost, while random-walk based learning…
We study the stopping times of gossip algorithms for network coding. We analyze algebraic gossip (i.e., random linear coding) and consider three gossip algorithms for information spreading Pull, Push, and Exchange. The stopping time of…
We study networks of gossiping users where a source observing a process sends updates to an underlying graph. Nodes in the graph update their neighbors randomly and nodes always accept packets that have newer information, thus attempting to…
Fully distributed learning schemes such as Gossip Learning (GL) are gaining momentum due to their scalability and effectiveness even in dynamic settings. However, they often imply a high utilization of communication and computing resources,…
We study a gossip-based algorithm for searching data objects in a multipeer communication network. All of the nodes in the network are able to communicate with each other. There exists an initiator node that starts a round of searches by…
Broadcasting and gossiping are fundamental communication tasks in networks. In broadcasting,one node of a network has a message that must be learned by all other nodes. In gossiping, every node has a (possibly different) message, and all…
In instances of online kernel learning where little prior information is available and centralized learning is unfeasible, past research has shown that distributed and online multi-kernel learning provides sub-linear regret as long as every…
The effective resistance between a pair of nodes in a weighted undirected graph is defined as the potential difference induced when a unit current is injected at one node and extracted from the other, treating edge weights as the…
As agentic platforms scale, agents are moving beyond fixed roles and predefined toolchains, creating an urgent need for flexible and decentralized coordination. Current structured communication protocols such as direct agent-to-agent…
Gossip algorithms are pivotal in the dissemination of information within decentralized systems. Consequently, numerous gossip libraries have been developed and widely utilized especially in blockchain protocols for the propagation of blocks…
Gossip algorithms and their accelerated versions have been studied exclusively in discrete time on graphs. In this work, we take a different approach, and consider the scaling limit of gossip algorithms in both large graphs and large number…
Gossip protocols are widely used to disseminate information in massive peer-to-peer networks. These protocols are often claimed to guarantee privacy because of the uncertainty they introduce on the node that started the dissemination. But…
We study a simple model of information propagation in social networks, where two quantities are introduced: the spread factor, which measures the average maximal fraction of neighbors of a given node that interchange information among each…
We revisit the classic problem of spreading a piece of information in a group of $n$ fully connected processors. By suitably adding a small dose of randomness to the protocol of Gasienic and Pelc (1996), we derive for the first time…
The problem of computing functions of values at the nodes in a network in a totally distributed manner, where nodes do not have unique identities and make decisions based only on local information, has applications in sensor, peer-to-peer,…
We consider the average probability X of being informed on a gossip in a given social network. The network is modeled within the random graph theory of Erdos and Renyi. In this theory, a network is characterized by two parameters: the size…
The gossip problem, in which information (known as secrets) must be shared among a certain number of agents using the minimum number of calls, is of interest in the conception of communication networks and protocols. We extend the gossip…
In decentralized optimization, it is common algorithmic practice to have nodes interleave (local) gradient descent iterations with gossip (i.e. averaging over the network) steps. Motivated by the training of large-scale machine learning…
We study the problem of gossip in dynamic networks controlled by an adversary that can modify the network arbitrarily from one round to another, provided that the network is always connected. In the gossip problem, $n$ tokens are…
