In cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), well-designed communication protocols can effectively facilitate consensus among agents, thereby enhancing task performance. Moreover, in large-scale multi-agent systems commonly found in real-world applications, effective communication plays…
Asynchronous federated learning (AFL) has emerged as a promising solution to address system heterogeneity and improve the training efficiency of federated learning. However, existing AFL methods face two critical limitations: 1) they rely on strong assumptions about bounded data heterogeneity across…
Federated learning (FL) has garnered significant attention from academia and industry in recent years due to its advantages in data privacy, scalability, and communication efficiency. However, current FL algorithms face a critical limitation: their performance heavily depends on meticulously tuned h…
Time-varying graphical LASSO (TVGL) aims to infer a sequence of graphs from time series data and has been widely used in many statistical inference problems. The existing algorithms usually suffer from high computational cost when solving large-scale TVGL problems. In this paper, we develop an effic…
We consider the problem of distributed principal component analysis (PCA) where the data samples are dispersed across different agents. Despite the rich literature on this problem under various specific settings, there is still a lack of efficient algorithms that are amenable to decentralized and as…
This paper studies the multi-agent performative prediction (Multi-PP) games over multiplex networks. We consider a distributed learning setting where agents partially cooperate on an agent network, while during learning, the data samples drawn depend on the prediction models of the agent itself and…
This paper investigates the problem of exact community recovery in the symmetric $d$-uniform $(d \geq 2)$ hypergraph stochastic block model ($d$-HSBM). In this model, a $d$-uniform hypergraph with $n$ nodes is generated by first partitioning the $n$ nodes into $K\geq 2$ equal-sized disjoint communit…
Signed graphs encode similarity and dissimilarity relationships among different entities with positive and negative edges. In this paper, we study the problem of community recovery over signed graphs generated by the signed stochastic block model (SSBM) with two equal-sized communities. Our approach…
We consider the problem of identifying the graph topology from a set of smooth graph signals. A well-known approach to this problem is minimizing the Dirichlet energy accompanied with some Frobenius norm regularization. Recent works have incorporated the logarithmic barrier on the node degrees to im…
