Distributed Parameter Estimation in Probabilistic Graphical Models
This paper presents foundational theoretical results on distributed parameter estimation for undirected probabilistic graphical models. It introduces a general condition on composite likelihood decompositions of these models which guarantees the global consistency of distributed estimators, provided the local estimators are consistent.

Distributed Learning from Interactions in Social Networks
We consider a network scenario in which agents can evaluate each other according to a score graph that models some interactions. The goal is to design a distributed protocol, run by the agents, that allows them to learn …
Interaction-Based Distributed Learning in Cyber-Physical and Social Networks
In this paper we consider a network scenario in which agents can evaluate each other according to a score graph that models some physical or social interaction. The goal is to design a distributed protocol, run by the ag…
Anomaly DetectionMarginal Likelihoods for Distributed Parameter Estimation of Gaussian Graphical Models
We consider distributed estimation of the inverse covariance matrix, also called the concentration or precision matrix, in Gaussian graphical models. Traditional centralized estimation often requires global inference of …
