We consider machine learning applications that train a model by leveraging data distributed over a trusted network, where communication constraints can create a performance bottleneck. A number of recent approaches propose to overcome this bottleneck through compression of gradient updates. However, as models become larger, so does the size of the gradient updates. In this paper, we propose an alternate approach to learn from distributed data that quantizes data instead of gradients, and can support learning over applications where the size of gradient updates is prohibitive. Our approach leverages the dependency of the computed gradient on data samples, which lie in a much smaller space in order to perform the quantization in the smaller dimension data space. At the cost of an extra gradient computation, the gradient estimate can be refined by conveying the difference between the gradient at the quantized data point and the original gradient using a small number of bits. Lastly, in order to save communication, our approach adds a layer that decides whether to transmit a quantized data sample or not based on its importance for learning. We analyze the convergence of the proposed approach for smooth convex and non-convex objective functions and show that we can achieve order optimal convergence rates with communication that mostly depends on the data rather than the model (gradient) dimension. We use our proposed algorithm to train ResNet models on the CIFAR-10 and ImageNet datasets, and show that we can achieve an order of magnitude savings over gradient compression methods. These communication savings come at the cost of increasing computation at the learning agent, and thus our approach is beneficial in scenarios where communication load is the main problem.

In distributed machine learning, data is dispatched to multiple machines for processing. Motivated by the fact that similar data points often belong to the same or similar classes, and more generally, classification rules of high accuracy tend to be
locally simple but globally complex (Vapnik & Bottou 1993), we propose data dependent dispatching that takes advantage of such structure. We present an in-depth analysis of this model, providing new algorithms with provable worst-case guarantees, analysis proving existing scalable heuristics perform well in natural non worst-case conditions, and techniques for extending a dispatching rule from a small sample to the entire distribution. We overcome novel technical challenges to satisfy important conditions for accurate distributed learning, including fault tolerance and balancedness. We empirically compare our approach with baselines based on random partitioning, balanced partition trees, and locality sensitive hashing, showing that we achieve significantly higher accuracy on both synthetic and real world image and advertising datasets. We also demonstrate that our technique strongly scales with the available computing power.
Can health entities collaboratively train deep learning models without sharing sensitive raw data? This paper proposes several configurations of a distributed deep learning method called SplitNN to facilitate such collaborations. SplitNN does not sha
re raw data or model details with collaborating institutions. The proposed configurations of splitNN cater to practical settings of i) entities holding different modalities of patient data, ii) centralized and local health entities collaborating on multiple tasks and iii) learning without sharing labels. We compare performance and resource efficiency trade-offs of splitNN and other distributed deep learning methods like federated learning, large batch synchronous stochastic gradient descent and show highly encouraging results for splitNN.
The usability and practicality of any machine learning (ML) applications are largely influenced by two critical but hard-to-attain factors: low latency and low cost. Unfortunately, achieving low latency and low cost is very challenging when ML depend
s on real-world data that are highly distributed and rapidly growing (e.g., data collected by mobile phones and video cameras all over the world). Such real-world data pose many challenges in communication and computation. For example, when training data are distributed across data centers that span multiple continents, communication among data centers can easily overwhelm the limited wide-area network bandwidth, leading to prohibitively high latency and high cost. In this dissertation, we demonstrate that the latency and cost of ML on highly-distributed and rapidly-growing data can be improved by one to two orders of magnitude by designing ML systems that exploit the characteristics of ML algorithms, ML model structures, and ML training/serving data. We support this thesis statement with three contributions. First, we design a system that provides both low-latency and low-cost ML serving (inferencing) over large-scale and continuously-growing datasets, such as videos. Second, we build a system that makes ML training over geo-distributed datasets as fast as training within a single data center. Third, we present a first detailed study and a system-level solution on a fundamental and largely overlooked problem: ML training over non-IID (i.e., not independent and identically distributed) data partitions (e.g., facial images collected by cameras varies according to the demographics of each cameras location).
Emerging applications of machine learning in numerous areas involve continuous gathering of and learning from streams of data. Real-time incorporation of streaming data into the learned models is essential for improved inference in these applications
. Further, these applications often involve data that are either inherently gathered at geographically distributed entities or that are intentionally distributed across multiple machines for memory, computational, and/or privacy reasons. Training of models in this distributed, streaming setting requires solving stochastic optimization problems in a collaborative manner over communication links between the physical entities. When the streaming data rate is high compared to the processing capabilities of compute nodes and/or the rate of the communications links, this poses a challenging question: how can one best leverage the incoming data for distributed training under constraints on computing capabilities and/or communications rate? A large body of research has emerged in recent decades to tackle this and related problems. This paper reviews recently developed methods that focus on large-scale distributed stochastic optimization in the compute- and bandwidth-limited regime, with an emphasis on convergence analysis that explicitly accounts for the mismatch between computation, communication and streaming rates. In particular, it focuses on methods that solve: (i) distributed stochastic convex problems, and (ii) distributed principal component analysis, which is a nonconvex problem with geometric structure that permits global convergence. For such methods, the paper discusses recent advances in terms of distributed algorithmic designs when faced with high-rate streaming data. Further, it reviews guarantees underlying these methods, which show there exist regimes in which systems can learn from distributed, streaming data at order-optimal rates.
In this paper, we propose a data collaboration analysis method for distributed datasets. The proposed method is a centralized machine learning while training datasets and models remain distributed over some institutions. Recently, data became large a
nd distributed with decreasing costs of data collection. If we can centralize these distributed datasets and analyse them as one dataset, we expect to obtain novel insight and achieve a higher prediction performance compared with individual analyses on each distributed dataset. However, it is generally difficult to centralize the original datasets due to their huge data size or regarding a privacy-preserving problem. To avoid these difficulties, we propose a data collaboration analysis method for distributed datasets without sharing the original datasets. The proposed method centralizes only intermediate representation constructed individually instead of the original dataset.
