Abstract:
Many problems of recent interest in control and machine learning can be posed in the framework of mathematical optimization. As data gets larger and more distributed, distributed algorithms over networks provide ample opportunities to improve the speed and accuracy of optimization. In this talk, we shall exploit the distributed gradient tracking technique (DGT) to solve large-scale optimization problems, e.g., the fully Asynchronous DGT which is easy to implement in directed networks with distributed datasets and robust to bounded transmission delays, while maintaining a linear convergence rate in the worst case if local functions are strongly-convex with Lipschitz-continuous gradients. Moreover, we adopt the DGT to design distributed algorithms with explicit convergence rates for the distributed resource allocation and distributed training over networks, respectively. Experiments are included to show their advantages again the-state-of-the-art algorithms.
