We study distributed estimation methods under communication constraints in a distributed version of the nonparametric random design regression model. We derive minimax lower bounds and exhibit methods that attain those bounds. Moreover, we show that adaptive estimation is possible in this setting.

We investigate whether in a distributed setting, adaptive estimation of a smooth function at the optimal rate is possible under minimal communication. It turns out that the answer depends on the risk considered and on the number of servers over which the procedure is distributed. We show that for the $L_infty$-risk, adaptively obtaining optimal rates under minimal communication is not possible. For the $L_2$-risk, it is possible over a range of regularities that depends on the relation between the number of local servers and the total sample size.
We investigate and compare the fundamental performance of several distributed learning methods that have been proposed recently. We do this in the context of a distributed version of the classical signal-in-Gaussian-white-noise model, which serves as a benchmark model for studying performance in this setting. The results show how the design and tuning of a distributed method can have great impact on convergence rates and validity of uncertainty quantification. Moreover, we highlight the difficulty of designing nonparametric distributed procedures that automatically adapt to smoothness.
In this paper, we consider minimizing a sum of local convex objective functions in a distributed setting, where communication can be costly. We propose and analyze a class of nested distributed gradient methods with adaptive quantized communication ( NEAR-DGD+Q). We show the effect of performing multiple quantized communication steps on the rate of convergence and on the size of the neighborhood of convergence, and prove R-Linear convergence to the exact solution with increasing number of consensus steps and adaptive quantization. We test the performance of the method, as well as some practical variants, on quadratic functions, and show the effects of multiple quantized communication steps in terms of iterations/gradient evaluations, communication and cost.

Distributed computing offers a high degree of flexibility to accommodate modern learning constraints and the ever increasing size of datasets involved in massive data issues. Drawing inspiration from the theory of distributed computation models devel oped in the context of gradient-type optimization algorithms, we present a consensus-based asynchronous distributed approach for nonparametric online regression and analyze some of its asymptotic properties. Substantial numerical evidence involving up to 28 parallel processors is provided on synthetic datasets to assess the excellent performance of our method, both in terms of computation time and prediction accuracy.
We consider a problem of manifold estimation from noisy observations. Many manifold learning procedures locally approximate a manifold by a weighted average over a small neighborhood. However, in the presence of large noise, the assigned weights beco me so corrupted that the averaged estimate shows very poor performance. We suggest a novel computationally efficient structure-adaptive procedure which simultaneously reconstructs a smooth manifold and estimates projections of the point cloud onto this manifold. The proposed approach iteratively refines the weights on each step, using the structural information obtained at previous steps. After several iterations, we obtain nearly oracle weights, so that the final estimates are nearly efficient even in the presence of relatively large noise. In our theoretical study we establish tight lower and upper bounds proving asymptotic optimality of the method for manifold estimation under the Hausdorff loss, provided that the noise degrades to zero fast enough.
