Distributed Nonparametric Estimation: from Sparse to Dense Samples per Terminal

ICML 2025poster

Consider the communication-constrained problem of nonparametric function estimation, in which each distributed terminal holds multiple i.i.d. samples. Under certain regularity assumptions, we characterize the minimax optimal rates for all regimes, and identify phase transitions of the optimal rates…

Refinement Methods for Distributed Distribution Estimation under $\ell^p$-Losses

Deheng Yuan, Tao Guo, Zhongyi Huang

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

Consider the communication-constrained estimation of discrete distributions under $\ell^p$ losses, where each distributed terminal holds multiple independent samples and uses limited number of bits to describe the samples. We obtain the minimax optimal rates of the problem for most parameter regimes…
