Decentralized stochastic optimization is the basic building block of modern collaborative machine learning, distributed estimation and control, and large-scale sensing. Since involved data usually contain sensitive information like user…

Decentralized optimization is gaining increased traction due to its widespread applications in large-scale machine learning and multi-agent systems. The same mechanism that enables its success, i.e., information sharing among participating…

Minimax optimization plays an important role in many machine learning tasks such as generative adversarial networks (GANs) and adversarial training. Although recently a wide variety of optimization methods have been proposed to solve the…

We present an optimization framework for solving multi-agent nonlinear programs subject to inequality constraints while keeping the agents' state trajectories private. Each agent has an objective function depending only upon its own state…

Decentralized minimax optimization has been actively studied in the past few years due to its application in a wide range of machine learning models. However, the current theoretical understanding of its convergence rate is far from…

Distributed learning has many computational benefits but is vulnerable to attacks from a subset of devices transmitting incorrect information. This paper investigates Byzantine-resilient algorithms in a decentralized setting, where devices…

This paper studies the problem of cooperative control of heterogeneous multi-agent systems (MASs) against Byzantine attacks. The agent affected by Byzantine attacks sends different wrong values to all neighbors while applying wrong input…

Decentralized optimization enables a network of agents to cooperatively optimize an overall objective function without a central coordinator and is gaining increased attention in domains as diverse as control, sensor networks, data mining,…

Distributed learning has become the standard approach for training large-scale machine learning models across private data silos. While distributed learning enhances privacy preservation and training efficiency, it faces critical challenges…

Differential privacy (DP) is widely employed to provide privacy protection for individuals by limiting information leakage from the aggregated data. Two well-known models of DP are the central model and the local model. The former requires…

Security concerns in large-scale networked environments are becoming increasingly critical. To further improve the algorithm security from the design perspective of decentralized optimization algorithms, we introduce a new measure: Privacy…

This paper proposes a differentially private gradient-tracking-based distributed stochastic optimization algorithm over directed graphs. In particular, privacy noises are incorporated into each agent's state and tracking variable to…

This paper studies Byzantine-robust stochastic optimization over a decentralized network, where every agent periodically communicates with its neighbors to exchange local models, and then updates its own local model by stochastic gradient…

Stochastic gradient descent ascent (SGDA) and its variants have been the workhorse for solving minimax problems. However, in contrast to the well-studied stochastic gradient descent (SGD) with differential privacy (DP) constraints, there is…

In large-scale distributed learning, security issues have become increasingly important. Particularly in a decentralized environment, some computing units may behave abnormally, or even exhibit Byzantine failures -- arbitrary and…

We consider the problem of Byzantine fault-tolerance in the peer-to-peer (P2P) distributed gradient-descent method -- a prominent algorithm for distributed optimization in a P2P system. In this problem, the system comprises of multiple…

Federated learning (FL) is designed to preserve data privacy during model training, where the data remains on the client side (i.e., IoT devices), and only model updates of clients are shared iteratively for collaborative learning. However,…

Motivated by the pervasive lack of privacy protection in existing distributed nonconvex optimization methods, this paper proposes a decentralized proximal primal-dual algorithm enabling double protection of privacy ($\text{DPP}^2$) for…

We present a hybrid systems framework for distributed multi-agent optimization in which agents execute computations in continuous time and communicate in discrete time. The optimization algorithm is analogous to a continuous-time form of…
