Graph Chatbot

Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.

Decentralized learning made easy with DecentralizePy

Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Rafael Pereira Pires, Akash Balasaheb Dhasade, Rishi Sharma, Milos Vujasinovic

Decentralized learning (DL) has gained prominence for its potential benefits in terms of scalability, privacy, and fault tolerance. It consists of many nodes that coordinate without a central server and exchange millions of parameters in the inherently ite ...

Decentralized learning (DL) systems have been gaining popularity because they avoid raw data sharing by communicating only model parameters, hence preserving data confidentiality. However, the large size of deep neural networks poses a significant challeng ...

Epidemic Learning: Boosting Decentralized Learning with Randomized Communication

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Sadegh Farhadkhani, Rafael Pereira Pires, Rishi Sharma, Marinus Abraham de Vos

We present Epidemic Learning ( EL ), a simple yet powerful decentralized learning (DL) algorithm that leverages changing communication topologies to achieve faster model convergence compared to conventional DL approaches. At each round of EL, each node sen ...

D-Cliques: Compensating for Data Heterogeneity with Topology in Decentralized Federated Learning

Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Erick Lavoie

The convergence speed of machine learning models trained with Federated Learning is significantly affected by non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) data partitions, even more so in a fully decentralized setting without a central server. In ...

TEE-based decentralized recommender systems: The raw data sharing redemption

Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Rafael Pereira Pires, Akash Balasaheb Dhasade, Nevena Dresevic

Recommenders are central in many applications today. The most effective recommendation schemes, such as those based on collaborative filtering (CF), exploit similarities between user profiles to make recommendations, but potentially expose private data. Fe ...

The notion of adversary is a staple of distributed computing. An adversary typically models “hostile” assumptions about the underlying distributed environment, e.g., a network that can drop messages, an operating system that can delay processes or an attac ...

Frugal Decentralized Learning

Anne-Marie Kermarrec

Machine learning is currently shifting from a centralized paradigm to decentralized ones where machine learning models are trained collaboratively. In fully decentralized learning algorithms, data remains where it was produced, models are trained locally a ...

Cluster-and-Conquer: When Randomness Meets Graph Locality

Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Olivier Ruas

K-Nearest-Neighbors (KNN) graphs are central to many emblematic data mining and machine-learning applications. Some of the most efficient KNN graph algorithms are incremental and local: they start from a random graph, which they incrementally improve by tr ...

FLeet: Online Federated Learning via Staleness Awareness and Performance Prediction

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Rhicheek Patra, Georgios Damaskinos, Vlad-Tiberiu Nitu

Federated Learning (FL) is very appealing for its privacy benefits: essentially, a global model is trained with updates computed on mobile devices while keeping the data of users local. Standard FL infrastructures are however designed to have no energy or ...

Existing approaches to distribute Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) either (i) fail to scale for they typically put the two components of a GAN (the generator and the discriminator) on different machines, inducing significant communication overhead, o ...
