Privacy-Preserving Community Detection for Locally Distributed Multiple Networks

Xiao Guo, Xiang Li, Xiangyu Chang +1

Modern multi-layer networks are commonly stored and analyzed in a local and distributed fashion because of the privacy, ownership, and communication costs. The literature on the mo…

Statistical Estimation and Inference via Local SGD in Federated Learning

Xiang Li, Jiadong Liang, Xiangyu Chang +1

Federated Learning (FL) makes a large amount of edge computing devices (e.g., mobile phones) jointly learn a global model without data sharing. In FL, data are generated in a decen…

Provable Benefits of Overparameterization in Model Compression: From Double Descent to Pruning Neural Networks

Xiangyu Chang, Yingcong Li, Samet Oymak +1

Deep networks are typically trained with many more parameters than the size of the training dataset. Recent empirical evidence indicates that the practice of overparameterization n…

Kernel Interpolation of High Dimensional Scattered Data

Shao-Bo Lin, Xiangyu Chang, Xingping Sun

Data sites selected from modeling high-dimensional problems often appear scattered in non-paternalistic ways. Except for sporadic clustering at some spots, they become relatively f…
