Adaptive Sigmoid Clipping for Balancing the Direction–Magnitude Mismatch Trade-off in Differentially Private Learning

NeurIPS 2025poster

Differential privacy (DP) limits the impact of individual training data samples by bounding their gradient norms through clipping. Conventional clipping operations assign unequal scaling factors to sample gradients with different norms, leading to a direction mismatch between the true batch gradient…

Coupled Data and Measurement Space Dynamics for Enhanced Diffusion Posterior Sampling

NeurIPS 2025poster

Inverse problems, where the goal is to recover an unknown signal from noisy or incomplete measurements, are central to applications in medical imaging, remote sensing, and computational biology. Diffusion models have recently emerged as powerful priors for solving such problems. However, existing me…

Universal Training of Neural Networks to Achieve Bayes Optimal Classification Accuracy

ICASSP 2025accepted

This work invokes the notion of f-divergence to introduce a novel upper bound on the Bayes error rate of a general classification task. We show that the proposed bound can be computed by sampling from the output of a parameterized model. Using this practical interpretation, we introduce the Bayes op…

Multi-Model Wireless Federated Learning with Downlink Beamforming

ICASSP 2024accepted

This paper studies the design of wireless federated learning (FL) for simultaneously training multiple machine learning models. We consider round robin device-model assignment and downlink beamforming for concurrent multiple model updates. After formulating the joint downlink-uplink transmission pro…

First-Order Fast Algorithm for Structurally Optimal Multi-Group Multicast Beamforming in Large-Scale Systems

ICASSP 2021accepted

We consider multi-group multicast beamforming in large-scale systems to minimize the transmit power subject to the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) requirements. Based on the optimal multicast beamforming structure, we propose a fast first-order algorithm to obtain the beamforming solu…

Distributed Online Optimization over a Heterogeneous Network with Any-Batch Mirror Descent

ICML 2020poster

In distributed online optimization over a computing network with heterogeneous nodes, slow nodes can adversely affect the progress of fast nodes, leading to drastic slowdown of the overall convergence process. To address this issue, we consider a new algorithm termed Distributed Any-Batch Mirror Des…

Joint offloading decision and resource allocation for mobile cloud with computing access point

ICASSP 2016accepted

We consider a mobile cloud computing system consisting of multiple users, one computing access point (CAP), and one remote cloud server. The CAP can either process the received tasks from mobile users or offload them to the cloud. We aim to jointly optimize the offloading decisions of all users and…

Multi-channel power allocation for device-to-device communication underlaying cellular networks

ICASSP 2016accepted

In underlay device-to-device (D2D) communication, a D2D pair reuses the cellular spectrum and creates interference to regular cellular users. Optimal operation requires joint consideration for the achieved D2D rate and the added interference to cellular users. Most existing work on D2D rate maximiza…
