2Direction: Theoretically Faster Distributed Training with Bidirectional Communication Compression

Neural Information Processing Systems

We consider distributed convex optimization problems in the regime when the communication between the server and the workers is expensive in both uplink and downlink directions.



Fast Asymptotically Optimal Algorithms for Non-Parametric Stochastic Bandits

Neural Information Processing Systems

We consider the problem of regret minimization in non-parametric stochastic bandits. When the rewards are known to be bounded from above, there exists asymptotically optimal algorithms, with asymptotic regret depending on an infi-mum of Kullback-Leibler divergences (KL).






DataPerf: Benchmarks for Data-Centric AI Development Mark Mazumder

Neural Information Processing Systems

Machine learning research has long focused on models rather than datasets, and prominent datasets are used for common ML tasks without regard to the breadth, difficulty, and faithfulness of the underlying problems. Neglecting the fundamental importance of data has given rise to inaccuracy, bias, and fragility in real-world applications, and research is hindered by saturation across existing dataset benchmarks.
