High-Probability Convergence in Decentralized Stochastic Optimization with Gradient Tracking

Aleksandar Armacki, Haoyuan Cai, Ali H. Sayed

We study high-probability (HP) convergence guarantees in decentralized stochastic optimization, where multiple agents collaborate to jointly train a model over a network. Existing…

Sharp High-Probability Rates for Nonlinear SGD under Heavy-Tailed Noise via Symmetrization

Aleksandar Armacki, Dragana Bajovic, Dusan Jakovetic +1

We study convergence in high-probability of SGD-type methods in non-convex optimization and the presence of heavy-tailed noise. To combat the heavy-tailed noise, a general black-bo…

Nonlinear Stochastic Gradient Descent and Heavy-tailed Noise: A Unified Framework and High-probability Guarantees

Aleksandar Armacki, Shuhua Yu, Pranay Sharma +4

We study high-probability convergence in online learning, in the presence of heavy-tailed noise. To combat the heavy tails, a general framework of nonlinear SGD methods is consider…
