Distributed Computation for the Non-metric Data Placement Problem using Glauber Dynamics and Auctions
S. Rasoul Etesami
We consider the non-metric data placement problem and develop distributed algorithms for computing or approximating its optimal integral solution. We first show that the non-metric…
Limited-Trust in Diffusion of Competing Alternatives over Social Networks
Vincent Leon, S. Rasoul Etesami, Rakesh Nagi
We consider the diffusion of two alternatives in social networks using a game-theoretic approach. Each individual plays a coordination game with its neighbors repeatedly and decide…
The Role of Local Steps in Local SGD
Tiancheng Qin, S. Rasoul Etesami, César A. Uribe
We consider the distributed stochastic optimization problem where agents want to minimize a global function given by the sum of agents' local functions, and focus on the hetero…
The Role of Gossiping for Information Dissemination over Networked Agents
Melih Bastopcu, S. Rasoul Etesami, Tamer Başar
We consider information dissemination over a network of gossiping agents (nodes). In this model, a source keeps the most up-to-date information about a time-varying binary state of…
Faster Convergence of Local SGD for Over-Parameterized Models
Tiancheng Qin, S. Rasoul Etesami, César A. Uribe
Modern machine learning architectures are often highly expressive. They are usually over-parameterized and can interpolate the data by driving the empirical loss close to zero. We…
Learning Stationary Nash Equilibrium Policies in -Player Stochastic Games with Independent Chains
S. Rasoul Etesami
We consider a subclass of -player stochastic games, in which players have their own internal state/action spaces while they are coupled through their payoff functions. It is ass…
