Federated Learning is a distributed learning paradigm with two key challenges that differentiate it from traditional optimization: (1) significant variability in terms of the systems characteristics on each device network (systems heterogeneity), and (2) non-identically data across (statistical heterogeneity). In this work, we introduce framework, FedProx, to tackle heterogeneity federated networks. FedProx can be viewed as generalization re-parametrization FedAvg, current state-of-the-art...

Federated learning involves training statistical models over remote devices or siloed data centers, such as mobile phones hospitals, while keeping localized. Training in heterogeneous and potentially massive networks introduces novel challenges that require a fundamental departure from standard approaches for large-scale machine learning, distributed optimization, privacy-preserving analysis. In this article, we discuss the unique characteristics of federated provide broad overview current...

Modern federated networks, such as those comprised of wearable devices, mobile phones, or autonomous vehicles, generate massive amounts data each day. This wealth can help to learn models that improve the user experience on device. However, scale and heterogeneity presents new challenges in research areas learning, meta-learning, multi-task learning. As machine learning community begins tackle these challenges, we are at a critical time ensure developments made grounded with realistic...

Federated learning aims to jointly learn statistical models over massively distributed remote devices. In this work, we propose FedDANE, an optimization method that adapt from DANE [8], [9], a for classical optimization, handle the practical constraints of federated learning. We provide convergence guarantees when both convex and non-convex functions. Despite encouraging theoretical results, find has underwhelming performance empirically. particular, through empirical simulations on...

The nonreciprocity of propagating spin waves, i.e., the difference in amplitude and/or frequency depending on propagation direction, is essential for realization wave-based logic circuits. However, nonreciprocal shifts demonstrated so far are not large enough applications because they originate from interfacial effects. In addition, switching wave electrical way remains a challenging issue. Here, we show switchable giant shift waves interlayer exchange-coupled synthetic antiferromagnets....

Distributed optimization has become the default training paradigm in modern machine learning due to growing scale of models and datasets. To mitigate communication overhead, local updates are often applied before global aggregation, resulting a nested approach with inner outer steps. However, heavy-tailed stochastic gradient noise remains significant challenge, particularly attention-based models, hindering effective training. In this work, we propose TailOPT, an efficient framework designed...

Absorption measurement is an exceptionally versatile tool for many applications in science and engineering. For absorption measurements using laser beams of light, the sensitivity theoretically limited by shot noise due to fundamental Poisson distribution photon number radiation. In practice, shot-noise limit can only be achieved when all other sources are eliminated. Here, we use seeded squeezed light demonstrate that direct-absorption performed with a beyond limit.
