Computationally intensive distributed and parallel computing is often bottlenecked by a small set of slow workers known as stragglers. In this paper, we utilize the emerging idea of "coded computation" to design a novel…

Existing gradient coding schemes introduce identical redundancy across the coordinates of gradients and hence cannot fully utilize the computation results from partial stragglers. This motivates the introduction of diverse redundancies…

To improve the utility of learning applications and render machine learning solutions feasible for complex applications, a substantial amount of heavy computations is needed. Thus, it is essential to delegate the computations among several…

In multi-task remote inference systems, an intelligent receiver (e.g., command center) performs multiple inference tasks (e.g., target detection) using data features received from several remote sources (e.g., edge devices). Key challenges…

Modern industrial Deep Learning Recommendation Models typically extract user preferences through the analysis of sequential interaction histories, subsequently generating predictions based on these derived interests. The inherent…

Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) is a widely adopted iterative method for optimizing differentiable objective functions. In this paper, we propose and discuss a novel approach to scale up SGD in applications involving non-convex functions…

A distributed machine learning platform needs to recruit many heterogeneous worker nodes to finish computation simultaneously. As a result, the overall performance may be degraded due to straggling workers. By introducing redundancy into…

Distributed linearly separable computation, where a user asks some distributed servers to compute a linearly separable function, was recently formulated by the same authors and aims to alleviate the bottlenecks of stragglers and…

Communicating information, like gradient vectors, between computing nodes in distributed and federated learning is typically an unavoidable burden, resulting in scalability issues. Indeed, communication might be slow and costly. Recent…

Large-scale machine learning training, in particular distributed stochastic gradient descent, needs to be robust to inherent system variability such as node straggling and random communication delays. This work considers a distributed…

Coded elastic computing enables virtual machines to be preempted for high-priority tasks while allowing new virtual machines to join ongoing computation seamlessly. This paper addresses coded elastic computing for matrix-matrix…

We consider the problem of private multiple linear computation (PMLC) over a replicated storage system with colluding and unresponsive constraints. In this scenario, the user wishes to privately compute $P$ linear combinations of $M$ files…

In this paper, we consider a decentralized learning problem in the presence of stragglers. Although gradient coding techniques have been developed for distributed learning to evade stragglers, where the devices send encoded gradients with…

Multi-task learning (MTL) has been widely adopted for its ability to simultaneously learn multiple tasks. While existing gradient manipulation methods often yield more balanced solutions than simple scalarization-based approaches, they…

Massive graphs, such as online social networks and communication networks, have become common today. To efficiently analyze such large graphs, many distributed graph computing systems have been developed. These systems employ the "think…
