We study distributed optimization problems over a network when the communication between the nodes is constrained, and so information that is exchanged between the nodes must be quantized. This imperfect communication poses a fundamental…

The decentralized optimization paradigm assumes that each term of a finite-sum objective is privately stored by the corresponding agent. Agents are only allowed to communicate with their neighbors in the communication graph. We consider the…

We present a new method that includes three key components of distributed optimization and federated learning: variance reduction of stochastic gradients, partial participation, and compressed communication. We prove that the new method has…

Communication remains the most significant bottleneck in the performance of distributed optimization algorithms for large-scale machine learning. In this paper, we propose a communication-efficient framework, CoCoA, that uses local…

In this work we consider the HYBRID model of distributed computing, introduced recently by Augustine, Hinnenthal, Kuhn, Scheideler, and Schneider (SODA 2020), where nodes have access to two different communication modes: high-bandwidth…

Communication-efficient variants of SGD, specifically local SGD, have received a great deal of interest in recent years. These approaches compute multiple gradient steps locally on each worker, before averaging model parameters, helping…

We propose two distributed iterative algorithms that can be used to solve, in finite time, the distributed optimization problem over quadratic local cost functions in large-scale networks. The first algorithm exhibits synchronous operation…

We consider distributed stochastic optimization problems that are solved with master/workers computation architecture. Statistical arguments allow to exploit statistical similarity and approximate this problem by a finite-sum problem, for…

Distributed algorithms for solving additive or consensus optimization problems commonly rely on first-order or proximal splitting methods. These algorithms generally come with restrictive assumptions and at best enjoy a linear convergence…

In this paper, we study the distributed optimization problem using approximate first-order information. We suppose the agent can repeatedly call an inexact first-order oracle of each individual objective function and exchange information…

This paper studies a class of distributed optimization problems with coupled equality constraints in networked systems. Many existing distributed algorithms rely on solving local subproblems via the $\operatorname{argmin}$ operator in each…

We consider the setting of agents cooperatively minimizing the sum of local objectives plus a regularizer on a graph. This paper proposes a primal-dual method in consideration of three distinctive attributes of real-life multi-agent…

Distributed data mining is an emerging research topic to effectively and efficiently address hard data mining tasks using big data, which are partitioned and computed on different worker nodes, instead of one centralized server.…

We address distributed learning problems, both nonconvex and convex, over undirected networks. In particular, we design a novel algorithm based on the distributed Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) to address the challenges…

We propose a distributed algorithm to solve a special distributed multi-resource allocation problem with no direct inter-agent communication. We do so by extending a recently introduced additive-increase multiplicative-decrease (AIMD)…

We present a novel communication-efficient Newton-type algorithm for finite-sum optimization over a distributed computing environment. Our method, named DINO, overcomes both theoretical and practical shortcomings of similar existing…

We propose a distributed algorithm, named Distributed Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (D-ADMM), for solving separable optimization problems in networks of interconnected nodes or agents. In a separable optimization problem there…

We analyze two communication-efficient algorithms for distributed statistical optimization on large-scale data sets. The first algorithm is a standard averaging method that distributes the $N$ data samples evenly to $\nummac$ machines,…

In this paper, we propose a distributed algorithm for stochastic smooth, non-convex optimization. We assume a worker-server architecture where $N$ nodes, each having $n$ (potentially infinite) number of samples, collaborate with the help of…

Distributed optimization is a fundamental framework for collaborative inference and decision making in decentralized multi-agent systems. The operation is modeled as the joint minimization of a shared objective which typically depends on…
