SP-CACW: Convergence-Aware Client Weighting for Selfish Personalized Learning

Yaron Kiselman, Kfir Y. Levy

Collaborative learning is sustainable only when it benefits each participant. Standard federated learning optimizes a global average objective, which can under perform for clients…

Bringing Order to Asynchronous SGD: Towards Optimality under Data-Dependent Delays with Momentum

Tehila Dahan, Roie Reshef, Sharon Goldstein +1

Asynchronous SGD enables scalable distributed training but suffers from stale gradients. When delays depend on the data, slower samples may be underrepresented, biasing training to…
