We consider straggler-resilient learning. In many previous works, e.g., in the coded computing literature, straggling is modeled as random delays that are independent and identically distributed between workers. However, in many practical…

Stochastic convex optimization algorithms are the most popular way to train machine learning models on large-scale data. Scaling up the training process of these models is crucial, but the most popular algorithm, Stochastic Gradient Descent…

When using large-batch training to speed up stochastic gradient descent, learning rates must adapt to new batch sizes in order to maximize speed-ups and preserve model quality. Re-tuning learning rates is resource intensive, while fixed…

Many popular distributed optimization methods for training machine learning models fit the following template: a local gradient estimate is computed independently by each worker, then communicated to a master, which subsequently performs…

The performance of an optimizer on large-scale deep learning models depends critically on fine-tuning the learning rate, often requiring an extensive grid search over base learning rates, schedules, and other hyperparameters. In this paper,…

In clinical practice, a segmentation network is often required to continually learn on a sequential data stream from multiple sites rather than a consolidated set, due to the storage cost and privacy restriction. However, during the…

Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs), particularly for large-scale graphs, are crucial across numerous domains. However, training distributed full-batch GCNs on large-scale graphs suffers from inefficient memory access patterns and high…

Training generative adversarial networks (GANs) often suffers from cyclic behaviors of iterates. Based on a simple intuition that the direction of centripetal acceleration of an object moving in uniform circular motion is toward the center…

With the increasing demand for large-scale training of machine learning models, fully decentralized optimization methods have recently been advocated as alternatives to the popular parameter server framework. In this paradigm, each worker…
