Accelerated Dual Method for Distributed Optimization: An Inexact-Gradient View of Local Updates

ICML 2026poster

In distributed machine learning, efficiently training across multiple agents with heterogeneous data distributions remains a central challenge. We address the problem of stochastic, strongly convex distributed optimization by applying accelerated gradient ascent to the dual variables and multi-step …

An Empirical Study of Position Bias in Modern Information Retrieval

EMNLP 2025

This study investigates the position bias in information retrieval, where models tend to overemphasize content at the beginning of passages while neglecting semantically relevant information that appears later. To analyze the extent and impact of position bias, we introduce a new evaluation framewor

Improving Knowledge Distillation via Category Structure

ECCV 2020poster

Most previous knowledge distillation frameworks train the student to mimic the teacher's output of each sample or transfer cross-sample relations from the teacher to the student. Nevertheless, they neglect the structured relations at a category level. In this paper, a novel Category Structure is pro…
