Why are Adaptive Methods Good for Attention Models?

Jingzhao Zhang, Sai Praneeth Karimireddy, Andreas Veit +4

While stochastic gradient descent (SGD) is still the \emph{de facto} algorithm in deep learning, adaptive methods like Clipped SGD/Adam have been observed to outperform SGD across…

SCAFFOLD: Stochastic Controlled Averaging for Federated Learning

Sai Praneeth Karimireddy, Satyen Kale, Mehryar Mohri +3

Federated Averaging (FedAvg) has emerged as the algorithm of choice for federated learning due to its simplicity and low communication cost. However, in spite of recent research ef…

The Error-Feedback Framework: Better Rates for SGD with Delayed Gradients and Compressed Communication

Sebastian U. Stich, Sai Praneeth Karimireddy

We analyze (stochastic) gradient descent (SGD) with delayed updates on smooth quasi-convex and non-convex functions and derive concise, non-asymptotic, convergence rates. We show t…

Amplifying Rényi Differential Privacy via Shuffling

Eloïse Berthier, Sai Praneeth Karimireddy

Differential privacy is a useful tool to build machine learning models which do not release too much information about the training data. We study the Rényi differential privacy of…

Error Feedback Fixes SignSGD and other Gradient Compression Schemes

Sai Praneeth Karimireddy, Quentin Rebjock, Sebastian U. Stich +1

Sign-based algorithms (e.g. signSGD) have been proposed as a biased gradient compression technique to alleviate the communication bottleneck in training large neural networks acros…
