CADA: Communication-Adaptive Distributed Adam

Tianyi Chen, Ziye Guo, Yuejiao Sun +1

Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) has taken the stage as the primary workhorse for large-scale machine learning. It is often used with its adaptive variants such as AdaGrad, Adam,…

Solving Stochastic Compositional Optimization is Nearly as Easy as Solving Stochastic Optimization

Tianyi Chen, Yuejiao Sun, Wotao Yin

Stochastic compositional optimization generalizes classic (non-compositional) stochastic optimization to the minimization of compositions of functions. Each composition may introdu…

VAFL: a Method of Vertical Asynchronous Federated Learning

Tianyi Chen, Xiao Jin, Yuejiao Sun +1

Horizontal Federated learning (FL) handles multi-client data that share the same set of features, and vertical FL trains a better predictor that combine all the features from diffe…
