Federated Learning (FL) framework brings privacy benefits to distributed learning systems by allowing multiple clients to participate in a learning task under the coordination of a central server without exchanging their private data.…

Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) is one of the most widely used optimization methods for parallel and distributed processing of large datasets. One of the key limitations of distributed SGD is the need to regularly communicate the…

When scaling distributed training, the communication overhead is often the bottleneck. In this paper, we propose a novel SGD variant with reduced communication and adaptive learning rates. We prove the convergence of the proposed algorithm…

Mini-batch stochastic gradient descent (SGD) is state of the art in large scale distributed training. The scheme can reach a linear speedup with respect to the number of workers, but this is rarely seen in practice as the scheme often…

Coded computing is an effective technique to mitigate "stragglers" in large-scale and distributed matrix multiplication. In particular, univariate polynomial codes have been shown to be effective in straggler mitigation by making the…

Work on continual learning (CL) has thus far largely focused on the problems arising from shifts in the data distribution. However, CL can be decomposed into two sub-problems: (a) shifts in the data distribution, and (b) dealing with the…

With the rapid increase of big data, distributed Machine Learning (ML) has been widely applied in training large-scale models. Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) is arguably the workhorse algorithm of ML. Distributed ML models trained by SGD…

Scalable machine learning over big data is an important problem that is receiving a lot of attention in recent years. On popular distributed environments such as Hadoop running on a cluster of commodity machines, communication costs are…

Distributed computing has become a common approach for large-scale computation of tasks due to benefits such as high reliability, scalability, computation speed, and costeffectiveness. However, distributed computing faces critical issues…

In recent years, different types of distributed and parallel learning schemes have received increasing attention for their strong advantages in handling large-scale data information. In the information era, to face the big data challenges…

This paper develops and analyzes an online distributed proximal-gradient method (DPGM) for time-varying composite convex optimization problems. Each node of the network features a local cost that includes a smooth strongly convex function…

Although the distributed machine learning methods can speed up the training of large deep neural networks, the communication cost has become the non-negligible bottleneck to constrain the performance. To address this challenge, the gradient…

Humans are able to accelerate their learning by selecting training materials that are the most informative and at the appropriate level of difficulty. We propose a framework for distributing deep learning in which one set of workers search…

In distributed computing systems, it is well recognized that worker nodes that are slow (called stragglers) tend to dominate the overall job execution time. Coded computation utilizes concepts from erasure coding to mitigate the effect of…

In this paper we consider online distributed learning problems. Online distributed learning refers to the process of training learning models on distributed data sources. In our setting a set of agents need to cooperatively train a learning…

Modern deep neural networks often require distributed training with many workers due to their large size. As the number of workers increases, communication overheads become the main bottleneck in data-parallel minibatch stochastic gradient…

Inexpensive cloud services, such as serverless computing, are often vulnerable to straggling nodes that increase end-to-end latency for distributed computation. We propose and implement simple yet principled approaches for straggler…

We first propose a decentralized proximal stochastic gradient tracking method (DProxSGT) for nonconvex stochastic composite problems, with data heterogeneously distributed on multiple workers in a decentralized connected network. To save…

In this paper, the problem of optimal gradient lossless compression in Deep Neural Network (DNN) training is considered. Gradient compression is relevant in many distributed DNN training scenarios, including the recently popular federated…

Privacy concerns in distributed learning often lead clients to return intentionally altered gradient information. We consider the problem of learning convex and $L$-smooth functions under adversarial gradient perturbation, where a client's…
