Refined Analysis of Federated Averaging and Federated Richardson-Romberg
Paul Mangold, Alain Durmus, Aymeric Dieuleveut +2
In this paper, we present a novel analysis of \FedAvg with constant step size, relying on the Markov property of the underlying process. We demonstrate that the global iterates of…
Optimal Design for Reward Modeling in RLHF
Antoine Scheid, Etienne Boursier, Alain Durmus +4
Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) has become a popular approach to align language models (LMs) with human preferences. This method involves collecting a large datas…
Joint Channel Selection using FedDRL in V2X
Lorenzo Mancini, Safwan Labbi, Karim Abed Meraim +4
Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication technology is revolutionizing transportation by enabling interactions between vehicles, devices, and infrastructures. This connectivity en…
Variational Diffusion Posterior Sampling with Midpoint Guidance
Badr Moufad, Yazid Janati, Lisa Bedin +4
Diffusion models have recently shown considerable potential in solving Bayesian inverse problems when used as priors. However, sampling from the resulting denoising posterior distr…
Nonasymptotic Analysis of Stochastic Gradient Descent with the Richardson-Romberg Extrapolation
Marina Sheshukova, Denis Belomestny, Alain Durmus +3
We address the problem of solving strongly convex and smooth minimization problems using stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithm with a constant step size. Previous works sugge…
Unravelling in Collaborative Learning
Aymeric Capitaine, Etienne Boursier, Antoine Scheid +4
Collaborative learning offers a promising avenue for leveraging decentralized data. However, collaboration in groups of strategic learners is not a given. In this work, we consider…
Theoretical Guarantees for Variational Inference with Fixed-Variance Mixture of Gaussians
Tom Huix, Anna Korba, Alain Durmus +1
Variational inference (VI) is a popular approach in Bayesian inference, that looks for the best approximation of the posterior distribution within a parametric family, minimizing a…
Learning to Mitigate Externalities: the Coase Theorem with Hindsight Rationality
Antoine Scheid, Aymeric Capitaine, Etienne Boursier +3
In economic theory, the concept of externality refers to any indirect effect resulting from an interaction between players that affects the social welfare. Most of the models withi…
Incentivized Learning in Principal-Agent Bandit Games
Antoine Scheid, Daniil Tiapkin, Etienne Boursier +5
This work considers a repeated principal-agent bandit game, where the principal can only interact with her environment through the agent. The principal and the agent have misaligne…
Divide-and-Conquer Posterior Sampling for Denoising Diffusion Priors
Yazid Janati, Badr Moufad, Alain Durmus +2
Recent advancements in solving Bayesian inverse problems have spotlighted denoising diffusion models (DDMs) as effective priors. Although these have great potential, DDM priors yie…
