Adaptive networks have the capability to pursue solutions of global stochastic optimization problems by relying only on local interactions within neighborhoods. The diffusion of information through repeated interactions allows for globally optimal behavior, without the need for central coordination. Most existing strategies are developed for cooperative learning settings, where the objective of the network is common to all agents. We consider in this work a team setting, where a subset of the agents form a team with a common goal while competing with the remainder of the network. We develop an algorithm for decentralized competition among teams of adaptive agents, analyze its dynamics and present an application in the decentralized training of generative adversarial neural networks.

This paper presents an adaptive combination strategy for distributed learning over diffusion networks. Since learning relies on the collaborative processing of the stochastic information at the dispersed agents, the overall performance can be improve
d by designing combination policies that adjust the weights according to the quality of the data. Such policies are important because they would add a new degree of freedom and endow multi-agent systems with the ability to control the flow of information over their edges for enhanced performance. Most adaptive and static policies available in the literature optimize certain performance metrics related to steady-state behavior, to the detriment of transient behavior. In contrast, we develop an adaptive combination rule that aims at optimizing the transient learning performance, while maintaining the enhanced steady-state performance obtained using policies previously developed in the literature.
In a recent article [1] we surveyed advances related to adaptation, learning, and optimization over synchronous networks. Various distributed strategies were discussed that enable a collection of networked agents to interact locally in response to st
reaming data and to continually learn and adapt to track drifts in the data and models. Under reasonable technical conditions on the data, the adaptive networks were shown to be mean-square stable in the slow adaptation regime, and their mean-square-error performance and convergence rate were characterized in terms of the network topology and data statistical moments [2]. Classical results for single-agent adaptation and learning were recovered as special cases. Following the works [3]-[5], this chapter complements the exposition from [1] and extends the results to asynchronous networks. The operation of this class of networks can be subject to various sources of uncertainties that influence their dynamic behavior, including randomly changing topologies, random link failures, random data arrival times, and agents turning on and off randomly. In an asynchronous environment, agents may stop updating their solutions or may stop sending or receiving information in a random manner and without coordination with other agents. The presentation will reveal that the mean-square-error performance of asynchronous networks remains largely unaltered compared to synchronous networks. The results justify the remarkable resilience of cooperative networks in the face of random events.
Many traditional signal recovery approaches can behave well basing on the penalized likelihood. However, they have to meet with the difficulty in the selection of hyperparameters or tuning parameters in the penalties. In this article, we propose a gl
obal adaptive generative adjustment (GAGA) algorithm for signal recovery, in which multiple hyperpameters are automatically learned and alternatively updated with the signal. We further prove that the output of our algorithm directly guarantees the consistency of model selection and the asymptotic normality of signal estimate. Moreover, we also propose a variant GAGA algorithm for improving the computational efficiency in the high-dimensional data analysis. Finally, in the simulated experiment, we consider the consistency of the outputs of our algorithms, and compare our algorithms to other penalized likelihood methods: the Adaptive LASSO, the SCAD and the MCP. The simulation results support the efficiency of our algorithms for signal recovery, and demonstrate that our algorithms outperform the other algorithms.
Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) have gained great popularity in tackling various analytics tasks on graph and network data. However, some recent studies raise concerns about whether GCNs can optimally integrate node features and topological struc
tures in a complex graph with rich information. In this paper, we first present an experimental investigation. Surprisingly, our experimental results clearly show that the capability of the state-of-the-art GCNs in fusing node features and topological structures is distant from optimal or even satisfactory. The weakness may severely hinder the capability of GCNs in some classification tasks, since GCNs may not be able to adaptively learn some deep correlation information between topological structures and node features. Can we remedy the weakness and design a new type of GCNs that can retain the advantages of the state-of-the-art GCNs and, at the same time, enhance the capability of fusing topological structures and node features substantially? We tackle the challenge and propose an adaptive multi-channel graph convolutional networks for semi-supervised classification (AM-GCN). The central idea is that we extract the specific and common embeddings from node features, topological structures, and their combinations simultaneously, and use the attention mechanism to learn adaptive importance weights of the embeddings. Our extensive experiments on benchmark data sets clearly show that AM-GCN extracts the most correlated information from both node features and topological structures substantially, and improves the classification accuracy with a clear margin.
We investigate an abstract conceptualisation of DigitalEcosystems from a computer science perspective. We then provide a conceptual framework for the cross pollination of ideas, concepts and understanding between different classes of ecosystems throu
gh the universally applicable principles of Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) modelling. A framework to assist the cross-disciplinary collaboration of research into Digital Ecosystems, including Digital BusinessEcosystems (DBEs) and Digital Knowledge Ecosystems (DKEs). So, we have defined the key steps towards a theoretical framework for Digital Ecosystems, that is compatible with the diverse theoretical views prevalent. Therefore, a theoretical edifice that can unify the diverse efforts within Digital Ecosystems research.
