Flower Hub: A Reproducible Benchmarking Platform for Federated Learning in Simulation and Deployment
Yan Gao, Mohammad Naseri, Javier Fernandez-Marques +19
Federated learning (FL) has emerged as a key approach for training models across decentralized data, yet benchmarking in FL remains difficult to reproduce, compare, and extend. Exi…
The Red Queen Gödel Machine: Co-Evolving Agents and Their Evaluators
Alex Iacob, Andrej Jovanović, William F. Shen +10
Self-improving agents are state-of-the-art (SOTA) on agentic coding benchmarks and have recently been extended to general domains. However, their search methods generally assume a…
FoMoE: Breaking the Full-Replica Barrier with a Federation of MoEs
Lorenzo Sani, Zeyu Cao, Meghdad Kurmanji +5
Pre-training Large Language Models (LLMs) typically demands large-scale infrastructure with tightly coupled hardware accelerators. Mixture-of-Experts (MoEs) architectures partially…
MT-DAO: Multi-Timescale Distributed Adaptive Optimizers with Local Updates
Alex Iacob, Andrej Jovanovic, Mher Safaryan +6
Training large models with distributed data parallelism (DDP) requires frequent communication of gradients across workers, which can saturate bandwidth. Infrequent communication st…
AbbIE: Autoregressive Block-Based Iterative Encoder for Efficient Sequence Modeling
Preslav Aleksandrov, Meghdad Kurmanji, Fernando Garcia Redondo +7
We introduce the Autoregressive Block-Based Iterative Encoder (AbbIE), a novel recursive generalization of the encoder-only Transformer architecture, which achieves better perplexi…
DES-LOC: Desynced Low Communication Adaptive Optimizers for Training Foundation Models
Alex Iacob, Lorenzo Sani, Mher Safaryan +8
Scaling foundation model training with Distributed Data Parallel (DDP) methods is bandwidth-limited. Existing infrequent communication methods like Local SGD were designed to synch…
