When the data is distributed across multiple servers, lowering the communication cost between the servers (or workers) while solving the distributed learning problem is an important problem and is the focus of this paper. In particular, we propose a fast, and communication-efficient decentralized framework to solve the distributed machine learning (DML) problem. The proposed algorithm, Group Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (GADMM) is based on the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) framework. The key novelty in GADMM is that it solves the problem in a decentralized topology where at most half of the workers are competing for the limited communication resources at any given time. Moreover, each worker exchanges the locally trained model only with two neighboring workers, thereby training a global model with a lower amount of communication overhead in each exchange. We prove that GADMM converges to the optimal solution for convex loss functions, and numerically show that it converges faster and more communication-efficient than the state-of-the-art communication-efficient algorithms such as the Lazily Aggregated Gradient (LAG) and dual averaging, in linear and logistic regression tasks on synthetic and real datasets. Furthermore, we propose Dynamic GADMM (D-GADMM), a variant of GADMM, and prove its convergence under the time-varying network topology of the workers.

How to train a machine learning model while keeping the data private and secure? We present CodedPrivateML, a fast and scalable approach to this critical problem. CodedPrivateML keeps both the data and the model information-theoretically private, whi
le allowing efficient parallelization of training across distributed workers. We characterize CodedPrivateMLs privacy threshold and prove its convergence for logistic (and linear) regression. Furthermore, via extensive experiments on Amazon EC2, we demonstrate that CodedPrivateML provides significant speedup over cryptographic approaches based on multi-party computing (MPC).
We introduce a collaborative learning framework allowing multiple parties having different sets of attributes about the same user to jointly build models without exposing their raw data or model parameters. In particular, we propose a Federated Stoch
astic Block Coordinate Descent (FedBCD) algorithm, in which each party conducts multiple local updates before each communication to effectively reduce the number of communication rounds among parties, a principal bottleneck for collaborative learning problems. We analyze theoretically the impact of the number of local updates and show that when the batch size, sample size, and the local iterations are selected appropriately, within $T$ iterations, the algorithm performs $mathcal{O}(sqrt{T})$ communication rounds and achieves some $mathcal{O}(1/sqrt{T})$ accuracy (measured by the average of the gradient norm squared). The approach is supported by our empirical evaluations on a variety of tasks and datasets, demonstrating advantages over stochastic gradient descent (SGD) approaches.
Large-scale distributed training of neural networks is often limited by network bandwidth, wherein the communication time overwhelms the local computation time. Motivated by the success of sketching methods in sub-linear/streaming algorithms, we intr
oduce Sketched SGD, an algorithm for carrying out distributed SGD by communicating sketches instead of full gradients. We show that Sketched SGD has favorable convergence rates on several classes of functions. When considering all communication -- both of gradients and of updated model weights -- Sketched SGD reduces the amount of communication required compared to other gradient compression methods from $mathcal{O}(d)$ or $mathcal{O}(W)$ to $mathcal{O}(log d)$, where $d$ is the number of model parameters and $W$ is the number of workers participating in training. We run experiments on a transformer model, an LSTM, and a residual network, demonstrating up to a 40x reduction in total communication cost with no loss in final model performance. We also show experimentally that Sketched SGD scales to at least 256 workers without increasing communication cost or degrading model performance.
Federated Averaging (FedAvg, also known as Local-SGD) (McMahan et al., 2017) is a classical federated learning algorithm in which clients run multiple local SGD steps before communicating their update to an orchestrating server. We propose a new fede
rated learning algorithm, FedPAGE, able to further reduce the communication complexity by utilizing the recent optimal PAGE method (Li et al., 2021) instead of plain SGD in FedAvg. We show that FedPAGE uses much fewer communication rounds than previous local methods for both federated convex and nonconvex optimization. Concretely, 1) in the convex setting, the number of communication rounds of FedPAGE is $O(frac{N^{3/4}}{Sepsilon})$, improving the best-known result $O(frac{N}{Sepsilon})$ of SCAFFOLD (Karimireddy et al.,2020) by a factor of $N^{1/4}$, where $N$ is the total number of clients (usually is very large in federated learning), $S$ is the sampled subset of clients in each communication round, and $epsilon$ is the target error; 2) in the nonconvex setting, the number of communication rounds of FedPAGE is $O(frac{sqrt{N}+S}{Sepsilon^2})$, improving the best-known result $O(frac{N^{2/3}}{S^{2/3}epsilon^2})$ of SCAFFOLD (Karimireddy et al.,2020) by a factor of $N^{1/6}S^{1/3}$, if the sampled clients $Sleq sqrt{N}$. Note that in both settings, the communication cost for each round is the same for both FedPAGE and SCAFFOLD. As a result, FedPAGE achieves new state-of-the-art results in terms of communication complexity for both federated convex and nonconvex optimization.
Federated learning (FL) is a prevailing distributed learning paradigm, where a large number of workers jointly learn a model without sharing their training data. However, high communication costs could arise in FL due to large-scale (deep) learning m
odels and bandwidth-constrained connections. In this paper, we introduce a communication-efficient algorithmic framework called CFedAvg for FL with non-i.i.d. datasets, which works with general (biased or unbiased) SNR-constrained compressors. We analyze the convergence rate of CFedAvg for non-convex functions with constant and decaying learning rates. The CFedAvg algorithm can achieve an $mathcal{O}(1 / sqrt{mKT} + 1 / T)$ convergence rate with a constant learning rate, implying a linear speedup for convergence as the number of workers increases, where $K$ is the number of local steps, $T$ is the number of total communication rounds, and $m$ is the total worker number. This matches the convergence rate of distributed/federated learning without compression, thus achieving high communication efficiency while not sacrificing learning accuracy in FL. Furthermore, we extend CFedAvg to cases with heterogeneous local steps, which allows different workers to perform a different number of local steps to better adapt to their own circumstances. The interesting observation in general is that the noise/variance introduced by compressors does not affect the overall convergence rate order for non-i.i.d. FL. We verify the effectiveness of our CFedAvg algorithm on three datasets with two gradient compression schemes of different compression ratios.
