Language model training in distributed settings is limited by the communication cost of gradient exchanges. In this short note, we extend recent work from Malladi et al. (2023), using shared randomness to perform distributed fine-tuning…

We consider the problem of distributed hypothesis testing (or social learning) where a network of agents seeks to identify the true state of the world from a finite set of hypotheses, based on a series of stochastic signals that each agent…

Censoring has been proposed to be utilized in wireless distributed detection networks with a fusion center to enhance network performance in terms of error probability in addition to the well-established energy saving gains. In this paper,…

Distributed signal-processing algorithms in (wireless) sensor networks often aim to decentralize processing tasks to reduce communication cost and computational complexity or avoid reliance on a single device (i.e., fusion center) for…

We address the optimal transmit power allocation problem (from the sensor nodes (SNs) to the fusion center (FC)) for the decentralized detection of an unknown deterministic spatially uncorrelated signal which is being observed by a…

Distributed estimation in the context of sensor networks is considered, where distributed agents are given a set of sensor measurements, and are tasked with estimating a target variable. A subset of sensors are assumed to be faulty. The…

We investigate an existing distributed algorithm for learning sparse signals or data over networks. The algorithm is iterative and exchanges intermediate estimates of a sparse signal over a network. This learning strategy using exchange of…

Score-based statistical models play an important role in modern machine learning, statistics, and signal processing. For hypothesis testing, a score-based hypothesis test is proposed in \cite{wu2022score}. We analyze the performance of this…

This thesis represents a culmination of work and learning that has taken place over a period of almost three years (2007 - 2010) at the University of Salerno, and at the University of Connecticut. It is mostly an unified mathematical…

The inference of Neural Networks is usually restricted by the resources (e.g., computing power, memory, bandwidth) on edge devices. In addition to improving the hardware design and deploying efficient models, it is possible to aggregate the…

We study how the amount of correlation between observations collected by distinct sensors/learners affects data collection and collaboration strategies by analyzing Fisher information and the Cramer-Rao bound. In particular, we consider a…

We propose a distributed Bayesian quickest change detection algorithm for sensor networks, based on a random gossip inter-sensor communication structure. Without a control or fusion center, each sensor executes its local change detection…

We consider distributed optimization over orthogonal collision channels in spatial random access networks. Users are spatially distributed and each user is in the interference range of a few other users. Each user is allowed to transmit…

We consider statistical inference for a finite-dimensional parameter in a regular semiparametric model under a distributed setting with blockwise missingness, where entire blocks of variables are unavailable at certain sites and sharing…

We consider the problem of soft decision fusion in a bandwidth-constrained wireless sensor network (WSN). The WSN is tasked with the detection of an intruder transmitting an unknown signal over a fading channel. A binary hypothesis testing…

Distributed optimization finds applications in large-scale machine learning, data processing and classification over multi-agent networks. In real-world scenarios, the communication network of agents may encounter latency that may affect…

The problem of distributed dynamic state estimation in wireless sensor networks is studied. Two important properties of local estimates, namely, the consistency and confidence, are emphasized. On one hand, the consistency, which means that…

We analyze a binary hypothesis testing problem built on a wireless sensor network (WSN) for detecting a stationary random process distributed both in space and time with circularly-symmetric complex Gaussian distribution under the…

This paper concerns sequential hypothesis testing in competitive multi-agent systems where agents exchange potentially manipulated information. Specifically, a two-agent scenario is studied where each agent aims to correctly infer the true…

Distributed statistical inference has recently attracted enormous attention. Many existing work focuses on the averaging estimator. We propose a one-step approach to enhance a simple-averaging based distributed estimator. We derive the…
