Reviews: Optimal Statistical Rates for Decentralised Non-Parametric Regression with Linear Speed-Up

Neural Information Processing Systems 

Update: I have read the author response and appreciate that they addressed some of my comments. The focus is on obtaining statistical guarantees about the generalization. This is a highly relevant direction to the growing body of work on decentralized training. The paper is generally well written, contains very original ideas, and I was very excited to read it. The main reason I didn't give a higher rating was because of the limitations listed at the beginning of Sec 5. I commend the authors for acknowledging them.
