Minimax Estimation for Personalized Federated Learning: An Alternative between FedAvg and Local Training?

Shuxiao Chen, Qinqing Zheng, Qi Long +1

A widely recognized difficulty in federated learning arises from the statistical heterogeneity among clients: local datasets often originate from distinct yet not entirely unrelate…

Federated -Differential Privacy

Qinqing Zheng, Shuxiao Chen, Qi Long +1

Federated learning (FL) is a training paradigm where the clients collaboratively learn models by repeatedly sharing information without compromising much on the privacy of their lo…

Sharp Composition Bounds for Gaussian Differential Privacy via Edgeworth Expansion

Qinqing Zheng, Jinshuo Dong, Qi Long +1

Datasets containing sensitive information are often sequentially analyzed by many algorithms. This raises a fundamental question in differential privacy regarding how the overall p…

Convergence Analysis for Rectangular Matrix Completion Using Burer-Monteiro Factorization and Gradient Descent

Qinqing Zheng, John Lafferty

We address the rectangular matrix completion problem by lifting the unknown matrix to a positive semidefinite matrix in higher dimension, and optimizing a nonconvex objective over…

A Convergent Gradient Descent Algorithm for Rank Minimization and Semidefinite Programming from Random Linear Measurements

Qinqing Zheng, John Lafferty

We propose a simple, scalable, and fast gradient descent algorithm to optimize a nonconvex objective for the rank minimization problem and a closely related family of semidefinite…
