Toward Understanding the Impact of Staleness in Distributed Machine Learning

no code implementations ICLR 2019 Wei Dai, Yi Zhou, Nanqing Dong, Hao Zhang, Eric P. Xing

Many distributed machine learning (ML) systems adopt the non-synchronous execution in order to alleviate the network communication bottleneck, resulting in stale parameters that do not reflect the latest updates.

Adversarial Domain Adaptation Being Aware of Class Relationships

no code implementations28 May 2019 Zeya Wang, Baoyu Jing, Yang Ni, Nanqing Dong, Pengtao Xie, Eric P. Xing

In this paper, we propose a novel relationship-aware adversarial domain adaptation (RADA) algorithm, which first utilizes a single multi-class domain discriminator to enforce the learning of inter-class dependency structure during domain-adversarial training and then aligns this structure with the inter-class dependencies that are characterized from training the label predictor on source domain.
