Decentralized Dynamic Discriminative Dictionary Learning

3 May 2016  ·  Alec Koppel, Garrett Warnell, Ethan Stump, Alejandro Ribeiro ·

We consider discriminative dictionary learning in a distributed online setting, where a network of agents aims to learn a common set of dictionary elements of a feature space and model parameters while sequentially receiving observations. We formulate this problem as a distributed stochastic program with a non-convex objective and present a block variant of the Arrow-Hurwicz saddle point algorithm to solve it. Using Lagrange multipliers to penalize the discrepancy between them, only neighboring nodes exchange model information. We show that decisions made with this saddle point algorithm asymptotically achieve a first-order stationarity condition on average.
