Toward Efficient Gradient-Based Value Estimation
Arsalan Sharifnassab, Richard Sutton
Gradient-based methods for value estimation in reinforcement learning have favorable stability properties, but they are typically much slower than Temporal Difference (TD) learning…
Order Optimal Bounds for One-Shot Federated Learning over non-Convex Loss Functions
Arsalan Sharifnassab, Saber Salehkaleybar, S. Jamaloddin Golestani
We consider the problem of federated learning in a one-shot setting in which there are machines, each observing sample functions from an unknown distribution on non-convex…
One-Shot Federated Learning: Theoretical Limits and Algorithms to Achieve Them
Saber Salehkaleybar, Arsalan Sharifnassab, S. Jamaloddin Golestani
We consider distributed statistical optimization in one-shot setting, where there are machines each observing i.i.d. samples. Based on its observed samples, each machine se…
