Are you an EPFL student looking for a semester project?
Work with us on data science and visualisation projects, and deploy your project as an app on top of Graph Search.
We examine the problem of learning a set of parameters from a distributed dataset. We assume the datasets are collected by agents over a distributed ad-hoc network, and that the communication of the actual raw data is prohibitive due to either privacy constraints or communication constraints. We propose a distributed algorithm for online learning that is proved to guarantee a bounded excess risk and the bound can be made arbitrary small for sufficiently small step-sizes. We apply our framework to the expert advice problem where nodes learn the weights for the trained experts distributively.
