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…

Distributed Gradient Clustering: Convergence and the Effect of Initialization

Aleksandar Armacki, Himkant Sharma, Dragana Bajović +3

We study the effects of center initialization on the performance of a family of distributed gradient-based clustering algorithms introduced in [1], that work over connected network…

Tight Long-Term Tail Decay of (Clipped) SGD in Non-Convex Optimization

Aleksandar Armacki, Dragana Bajović, Dušan Jakovetić +2

The study of tail behaviour of SGD-induced processes has been attracting a lot of interest, due to offering strong guarantees with respect to individual runs of an algorithm. While…

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…
