ByzantineResilientDistributedMulti-TaskLearning

Neural Information Processing Systems

Distributed multi-task learning provides significant advantages in multi-agent networkswithheterogeneous datasources where agents aimtolearndistinctbut correlated models simultaneously. However, distributed algorithms for learning relatedness among tasks arenotresilient inthepresence ofByzantine agents. In this paper, we present an approach for Byzantine resilient distributed multi-task learning. We propose an efficient online weight assignment rule by measuring the accumulated loss using an agent's data and its neighbors' models. A small accumulated loss indicates a large similarity between the two tasks.





DiffusionCurvatureforEstimatingLocalCurvature inHighDimensionalData

Neural Information Processing Systems

We show that this laziness directly relates to volume comparison results from Riemannian geometry. We then extend this scalar curvature notion to an entire quadratic form using neural network estimations based on the diffusion map of point-clouddata.
