Distributed learning, particularly variants of distributed stochastic gradient descent (DSGD), are widely employed to speed up training by leveraging computational resources of several workers. However, in practise, communication delay…

A framework is introduced for sequentially solving convex stochastic minimization problems, where the objective functions change slowly, in the sense that the distance between successive minimizers is bounded. The minimization problems are…

High-dimensional Kronecker-structured estimation faces a conflict between non-convex scaling ambiguities and statistical robustness. The arbitrary factor scaling distorts gradient magnitudes, rendering standard fixed-threshold robust…
