Distributed deep learning (DL) has become prevalent in recent years to reduce training time
by leveraging multiple computing devices (eg, GPUs/TPUs) due to larger models and …

We study the asynchronous stochastic gradient descent algorithm, for distributed training
over $ n $ workers that might be heterogeneous. In this algorithm, workers compute …

We study a variation of vanilla stochastic gradient descent where the optimizer only has
access to a Markovian sampling scheme. These schemes encompass applications that …

With the rapid growth in the volume of data sets, models, and devices in the domain of deep
learning, there is increasing attention on large-scale distributed deep learning. In contrast to …

The rapid growth of memory and computation requirements of large language models
(LLMs) has outpaced the development of hardware, hindering people who lack large-scale …

To improve the efficiency of reinforcement learning (RL), we propose a novel asynchronous
federated reinforcement learning (FedRL) framework termed AFedPG, which constructs a …

The fusion of federated learning and differential privacy can provide more comprehensive
and rigorous privacy protection, thus attracting extensive interests from both academia and …

We analyze asynchronous-type algorithms for distributed SGD in the heterogeneous setting,
where each worker has its own computation and communication speeds, as well as data …

Parallelization is a popular strategy for improving the performance of methods. Optimization
methods are no exception: design of efficient parallel optimization methods and tight …

We study asynchronous federated learning mechanisms with nodes having potentially
different computational speeds. In such an environment, each node is allowed to work on …
