We propose a decentralized algorithm called DECAFORK that can maintain the number of RWs in the graph around a desired value even in the presence of arbitrary RW failures.

However, FEEL still suffers from a communication bottleneck due to the transmission of high-dimensional model updates from the clients to the federator.

Based on this capacity estimator, a gap-elimination algorithm termed BestChanID is proposed, which is oblivious to the capacity-achieving input distribution and is guaranteed to output the DMC with the largest capacity, with a desired confidence.

Existing literature focuses on private aggregation schemes that tackle the privacy problem in federated learning in settings where all users are connected to each other and to the federator.

Specifically, the server learns the aggregated model of the clients in each group - vanilla federated learning and secure aggregation correspond to the extreme cases of FedGT with group size equal to one and the total number of clients, respectively.

Since the number of stragglers in practice is random and unknown a priori, tolerating a fixed number of stragglers can yield a sub-optimal computation load and can result in higher latency.

Over-the-air computation has the potential to increase the communication-efficiency of data-dependent distributed wireless systems, but is vulnerable to eavesdropping.

We consider the distributed SGD problem, where a main node distributes gradient calculations among $n$ workers.

We show an equivalence between correcting $t$-criss-cross deletions and $t$-criss-cross insertions and show that a code correcting $t$-criss-cross insertions/deletions has redundancy at least $tn + t \log n - \log(t!)$.

The new method consists of two steps: (1) solving a syndrome-based key equation to obtain the annihilator polynomial of the error and therefore the column space of the error, (2) solving a key equation based on the received word in order to reconstruct the error vector.
