Communication-Efficient Distributed Learning with Differential Privacy

Xiaoxing Ren, Yuwen Ma, Nicola Bastianello +3

We address nonconvex learning problems over undirected networks. In particular, we focus on the challenge of designing an algorithm that is both communication-efficient and that gu…

HyperKKL: Learning KKL Observers for Non-Autonomous Nonlinear Systems via Hypernetwork-Based Input Conditioning

Yahia Salaheldin Shaaban, Abdelrahman Sayed Sayed, M. Umar B. Niazi +1

Kazantzis-Kravaris/Luenberger (KKL) observers are a class of state observers for nonlinear systems that rely on an injective map to transform the nonlinear dynamics into a stable q…
