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.…

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…
