Heterogeneity-Guided Client Sampling: Towards Fast and Efficient Non-IID Federated Learning
This has motivated numerous studies aiming to reduce the variance and improve convergence of FL on non-IID data [6, 9, 14, 17, 19, 30]. On another note, constraints on communication resources and therefore on the number of clients that may participate in training additionally complicate implementation of FL schemes.
Robust group and simultaneous inferences for high-dimensional single index model
This paper introduces a robust procedure by recasting the SIM into a pseudo-linear model with transformed responses. It relaxes the distributional conditions on random errors from sub-Gaussian to more general distributions and thus it is robust with substantial efficiency gain for heavy-tailed random errors.
