The Privacy Power of Correlated Noise in Decentralized Learning

Rachid Guerraoui, Martin Jaggi, Youssef Allouah, Anastasiia Koloskova

Decentralized learning is appealing as it enables the scalable usage of large amounts of distributed data and resources (without resorting to any central entity), while promoting privacy since every user minimizes the direct exposure of their data. Yet, wi ...

Building Strongly-Consistent Systems Resilient to Failures, Partitions, and Slowdowns

Cristina Basescu

Distributed systems designers typically strive to improve performance and preserve availability despite failures or attacks; but, when strong consistency is also needed, they encounter fundamental limitations. The bottleneck is in replica coordination, whi ...

DeepNC: Deep Generative Network Completion

Andreas Oliver Spitz

Most network data are collected from partially observable networks with both missing nodes and missing edges, for example, due to limited resources and privacy settings specified by users on social media. Thus, it stands to reason that inferring the missin ...

Regularized Diffusion Adaptation via Conjugate Smoothing

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski

The purpose of this article is to develop and study a decentralized strategy for Pareto optimization of an aggregate cost consisting of regularized risks. Each risk is modeled as the expectation of some loss function with unknown probability distribution, ...

Distributed Meta-Learning with Networked Agents

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Mert Kayaalp

Meta-learning aims to improve efficiency of learning new tasks by exploiting the inductive biases obtained from related tasks. Previous works consider centralized or federated architectures that rely on central processors, whereas, in this paper, we propos ...

Adaptation and Learning Over Networks Under Subspace Constraints-Part I: Stability Analysis

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Roula Nassif

This paper considers optimization problems over networks where agents have individual objectives to meet, or individual parameter vectors to estimate, subject to subspace constraints that require the objectives across the network to lie in low-dimensional ...

Drynx: Decentralized, Secure, Verifiable System for Statistical Queries and Machine Learning on Distributed Datasets

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Juan Ramón Troncoso-Pastoriza, Joao André Gomes de Sá e Sousa, David Jules Froelicher

Data sharing has become of primary importance in many domains such as big-data analytics, economics and medical research, but remains difficult to achieve when the data are sensitive. In fact, sharing personal information requires individuals' unconditiona ...

OrthoNet: Multilayer Network Data Clustering

Pascal Frossard, Mireille El Gheche

Network data appears in very diverse applications, like biological, social, or sensor networks. Clustering of network nodes into categories or communities has thus become a very common task in machine learning and data mining. Network data comes with some ...

Distributed Inference Over Networks Under Subspace Constraints

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Roula Nassif

This paper considers optimization problems over networks where agents have individual objectives to meet, or individual parameter vectors to estimate, subject to subspace constraints that enforce the objectives across the network to lie in a low-dimensiona ...

System Support for Efficient Replication in Distributed Systems

Dragos-Adrian Seredinschi

Current online applications, such as search engines, social networks, or file sharing services, execute across a distributed network of machines. They provide non-stop services to their users despite failures in the underlying network. To achieve such a hi ...

A Programming Model and Foundation for Lineage-Based Distributed Computation

Philipp Haller, Heather Christine Klug

The most successful systems for "big data'' processing have all adopted functional APIs. We present a new programming model we call function passing designed to provide a more principled substrate, or middleware, upon which to build data-centric distribute ...

Distributed Transactions: Dissecting the Nightmare

Rachid Guerraoui, Willy Zwaenepoel, Diego Didona, Jingjing Wang

Many distributed storage systems are transactional and a lot of work has been devoted to optimizing their performance, especially the performance of read-only transactions that are considered the most frequent in practice. Yet, the results obtained so far ...
