Semi-Stochastic Gradient Descent Methods

no code implementations5 Dec 2013 Jakub Konečný, Peter Richtárik

The total work needed for the method to output an $\varepsilon$-accurate solution in expectation, measured in the number of passes over data, or equivalently, in units equivalent to the computation of a single gradient of the loss, is $O((\kappa/n)\log(1/\varepsilon))$, where $\kappa$ is the condition number.

One-Shot-Learning Gesture Recognition using HOG-HOF Features

no code implementations15 Dec 2013 Jakub Konečný, Michal Hagara

We use RGB and depth images and combine appearance (Histograms of Oriented Gradients) and motion descriptors (Histogram of Optical Flow) for parallel temporal segmentation and recognition.

Distributed Optimization with Arbitrary Local Solvers

1 code implementation13 Dec 2015 Chenxin Ma, Jakub Konečný, Martin Jaggi, Virginia Smith, Michael. I. Jordan, Peter Richtárik, Martin Takáč

To this end, we present a framework for distributed optimization that both allows the flexibility of arbitrary solvers to be used on each (single) machine locally, and yet maintains competitive performance against other state-of-the-art special-purpose distributed methods.

Federated Learning: Strategies for Improving Communication Efficiency

no code implementations ICLR 2018 Jakub Konečný, H. Brendan McMahan, Felix X. Yu, Peter Richtárik, Ananda Theertha Suresh, Dave Bacon

We consider learning algorithms for this setting where on each round, each client independently computes an update to the current model based on its local data, and communicates this update to a central server, where the client-side updates are aggregated to compute a new global model.

Randomized Distributed Mean Estimation: Accuracy vs Communication

no code implementations22 Nov 2016 Jakub Konečný, Peter Richtárik

We consider the problem of estimating the arithmetic average of a finite collection of real vectors stored in a distributed fashion across several compute nodes subject to a communication budget constraint.

Privacy Preserving Randomized Gossip Algorithms

no code implementations23 Jun 2017 Filip Hanzely, Jakub Konečný, Nicolas Loizou, Peter Richtárik, Dmitry Grishchenko

In this work we present three different randomized gossip algorithms for solving the average consensus problem while at the same time protecting the information about the initial private values stored at the nodes.

Federated Learning with Autotuned Communication-Efficient Secure Aggregation

no code implementations30 Nov 2019 Keith Bonawitz, Fariborz Salehi, Jakub Konečný, Brendan Mcmahan, Marco Gruteser

Federated Learning enables mobile devices to collaboratively learn a shared inference model while keeping all the training data on a user's device, decoupling the ability to do machine learning from the need to store the data in the cloud.
