Binary Optimization with Complex Constraints via Quantum Approximate Multi-Objective Optimization

Andres Ruiz, Soumyadip Ghosh, Stefan Woerner

We show that a class of binary optimization problems with complex non-quadratic objectives or constraints can be reformulated as multi-objective quadratic unconstrained binary opti…

On Representations of Mean-Field Variational Inference

Soumyadip Ghosh, Yingdong Lu, Tomasz Nowicki +1

The mean field variational inference (MFVI) formulation restricts the general Bayesian inference problem to the subspace of product measures. We present a framework to analyze MFVI…

A Class of Geometric Structures in Transfer Learning: Minimax Bounds and Optimality

Xuhui Zhang, Jose Blanchet, Soumyadip Ghosh +1

We study the problem of transfer learning, observing that previous efforts to understand its information-theoretic limits do not fully exploit the geometric structure of the source…

Communication-Efficient Algorithms for Solving Pressure Poisson Equation for Multiphase Flows using Parallel Computers

Soumyadip Ghosh, Jiacai Lu, Vijay Gupta +1

Numerical solution of partial differential equations on parallel computers using domain decomposition usually requires synchronization and communication among the processors. These…

Polynomial convergence of iterations of certain random operators in Hilbert space

Soumyadip Ghosh, Yingdong Lu, Tomasz J. Nowicki

We study the convergence of a random iterative sequence of a family of operators on infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces, inspired by the Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) algorithm…

Hamiltonian Monte Carlo with Asymmetrical Momentum Distributions

Soumyadip Ghosh, Yingdong Lu, Tomasz Nowicki

Existing rigorous convergence guarantees for the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm use Gaussian auxiliary momentum variables, which are crucially symmetrically distributed. W…

EventGraD: Event-Triggered Communication in Parallel Machine Learning

Soumyadip Ghosh, Bernardo Aquino, Vijay Gupta

Communication in parallel systems imposes significant overhead which often turns out to be a bottleneck in parallel machine learning. To relieve some of this overhead, in this pape…

On Convergence of the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo

Soumyadip Ghosh, Yingdong Lu, Tomasz Nowicki

We establish convergence for Hamiltonian Monte Carlo algorithms. More specifically, under mild conditions for the associated Hamiltonian motion, we show that the outputs of t…

Unbiased Gradient Estimation for Distributionally Robust Learning

Soumyadip Ghosh, Mark Squillante

Seeking to improve model generalization, we consider a new approach based on distributionally robust learning (DRL) that applies stochastic gradient descent to the outer minimizati…

Slow and Stale Gradients Can Win the Race: Error-Runtime Trade-offs in Distributed SGD

Sanghamitra Dutta, Gauri Joshi, Soumyadip Ghosh +2

Distributed Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) when run in a synchronous manner, suffers from delays in waiting for the slowest learners (stragglers). Asynchronous methods can allev…

Robust Analysis in Stochastic Simulation: Computation and Performance Guarantees

Soumyadip Ghosh, Henry Lam

Any performance analysis based on stochastic simulation is subject to the errors inherent in misspecifying the modeling assumptions, particularly the input distributions. In situat…

A strong law for the rate of growth of long latency periods in cloud computing service

Souvik Ghosh, Soumyadip Ghosh

Cloud-computing shares a common pool of resources across customers at a scale that is orders of magnitude larger than traditional multi-user systems. Constituent physical compute s…
