Abstract
Generalized Edge-Consensus Learning (G-ECL) is a primal-dual method to solve loss-sum minimization problems. We propose Local Generalized Edge-Consensus Learning (Local G-ECL) as an extension of previous G-ECL, aiming to be a decentralized/centralized FL algorithm robust to heterogeneous data sets with a large number of local updates. Our contributions are as follows: (C1) success in theoretical gradient norm convergence analysis nearly independently of data heterogeneity, and (C2) equivalency proof between our primal-dual Local G-ECL and a pure primal Stochastic Controlled Averaging (SCAFFOLD) algorithm in centralized settings, where the difference in the initial local model for each round is ignored. Numerical experiments using image classification tests validated that Local G-ECL is robust to heterogeneous data with a large number of local updates.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Signal and Information Processing over Networks publishes high-quality papers that extend the classical notions of processing of signals defined over vector spaces (e.g. time and space) to processing of signals and information (data) defined over networks, potentially dynamically varying. In signal processing over networks, the topology of the network may define structural relationships in the data, or may constrain processing of the data. Topics include distributed algorithms for filtering, detection, estimation, adaptation and learning, model selection, data fusion, and diffusion or evolution of information over such networks, and applications of distributed signal processing.
