Row-stochastic matrices can provably outperform doubly stochastic matrices in decentralized learning

ICML 2026poster

Decentralized learning often involves a weighted global loss with heterogeneous node weights $\lambda$. We revisit two natural strategies for incorporating these weights: (i) embedding them into the local losses to retain a uniform weight (and thus a doubly stochastic matrix), and (ii) keeping the o…

A Logic-Based Approach to Causal Discovery: Signal Temporal Logic Perspective

IJCAI 2025

Causal discovery in time-series datasets is critical for understanding complex systems, especially when the \textit{effectiveness} of causal relationships depends on both the \textit{duration} and \textit{magnitude} of the cause. We introduce a novel framework for causal discovery based on \textbf{S

Differentially Private No-regret Exploration in Adversarial Markov Decision Processes

UAI 2024poster

We study learning adversarial Markov decision process (MDP) in the episodic setting under the constraint of differential privacy (DP). This is motivated by the widespread applications of reinforcement learning (RL) in non-stationary and even adversarial scenarios, where protecting users’ sensitive i…
