Decentralized Parameter-Free Online Learning with Compressed Gossip

Tomas Ortega, Hamid Jafarkhani

We study decentralized online convex optimization when agents communicate over a graph and messages may be compressed. Classical decentralized online methods typically require lear…

Communication Compression for Distributed Learning with Aggregate and Server-Guided Feedback

Tomas Ortega, Chun-Yin Huang, Xiaoxiao Li +1

Distributed learning, particularly Federated Learning (FL), faces a significant bottleneck in the communication cost, particularly the uplink transmission of client-to-server updat…

Decentralized Parameter-Free Online Learning

Tomas Ortega, Hamid Jafarkhani

We propose the first parameter-free decentralized online learning algorithms with network regret guarantees, which achieve sublinear regret without requiring hyperparameter tuning.…

Communication Compression for Distributed Learning without Control Variates

Tomas Ortega, Chun-Yin Huang, Xiaoxiao Li +1

Distributed learning algorithms, such as the ones employed in Federated Learning (FL), require communication compression to reduce the cost of client uploads. The compression metho…

LOS/NLOS Estimators for mmWave Cellular Systems With Blockages

Tomàs Ortega, Antonio Pascual-Iserte, Olga Muñoz

Designers of millimeter wave (mmWave) cellular systems need to evaluate line-of-sight (LOS) maps to provide good service to users in urban scenarios. In this letter, we derive esti…

Quantized and Asynchronous Federated Learning

Tomas Ortega, Hamid Jafarkhani

Recent advances in federated learning have shown that asynchronous variants can be faster and more scalable than their synchronous counterparts. However, their design does not incl…

Practical implementation of geometric quasi-cyclic LDPC codes

Simeon Ball, Tomàs Ortega

We detail for the first time a complete explicit description of the quasi-cyclic structure of all classical finite generalized quadrangles. Using these descriptions we construct fa…

Gossiped and Quantized Online Multi-Kernel Learning

Tomas Ortega, Hamid Jafarkhani

In instances of online kernel learning where little prior information is available and centralized learning is unfeasible, past research has shown that distributed and online multi…
