This paper is concerned with minimizing the average of $n$ cost functions over a network in which agents may communicate and exchange information with each other. We consider the setting where only noisy gradient information is available.…

We consider the decentralized stochastic optimization problems, where a network of $n$ nodes, each owning a local cost function, cooperate to find a minimizer of the globally-averaged cost. A widely studied decentralized algorithm for this…

In this paper, we study the problem of distributed multi-agent optimization over a network, where each agent possesses a local cost function that is smooth and strongly convex. The global objective is to find a common solution that…

Distributed Optimization is an increasingly important subject area with the rise of multi-agent control and optimization. We consider a decentralized stochastic optimization problem where the agents on a graph aim to asynchronously optimize…

We study high-probability (HP) convergence guarantees in decentralized stochastic optimization, where multiple agents collaborate to jointly train a model over a network. Existing HP results in decentralized settings almost exclusively…

This paper is devoted to distributed continuous-time and discrete-time optimization problems with nonuniform convex constraint sets and nonuniform stepsizes for general differentiable convex objective functions. The communication graphs are…

We consider a multi-agent optimization problem where agents subject to local, intermittent interactions aim to minimize a sum of local objective functions subject to a global inequality constraint and a global state constraint set. In…

This paper studies distributed nonconvex optimization problems with stochastic gradients for a multi-agent system, in which each agent aims to minimize the sum of all agents' cost functions by using local compressed information exchange. We…

We consider a multi-agent setting with agents exchanging information over a possibly time-varying network, aiming at minimising a separable objective function subject to constraints. To achieve this objective we propose a novel subgradient…

In this paper, we propose a new framework to study distributed optimization problems with stochastic gradients by employing a multi-agent system with continuous-time dynamics. Here the goal of the agents is to cooperatively minimize the sum…

Distributed optimization has a rich history. It has demonstrated its effectiveness in many machine learning applications, etc. In this paper we study a subclass of distributed optimization, namely decentralized optimization in a non-smooth…

This paper proposes a new framework for distributed optimization, called distributed aggregative optimization, which allows local objective functions to be dependent not only on their own decision variables, but also on the average of…

Asynchronous stochastic gradient descent (ASGD) is a standard way to exploit heterogeneous compute resources in distributed learning: instead of forcing fast workers to wait for slow ones, the server updates the model whenever a gradient…

Distributed stochastic optimization has drawn great attention recently due to its effectiveness in solving large-scale machine learning problems. Though numerous algorithms have been proposed and successfully applied to general practical…

We study finite-time performance of a recently proposed distributed dual subgradient (DDSG) method for convex constrained multi-agent optimization problems. The algorithm enjoys performance guarantees on the last primal iterate, as opposed…

Classical optimization theory largely focuses on fixed objective functions, whereas many modern learning systems operate in dynamic environments where data arrive sequentially and decisions must be updated continuously. In this work, we…
