Effective Distributed Learning with Random Features: Improved Bounds and Algorithms
In this paper, we study the statistical properties of distributed kernel ridge regression together with random features (DKRR-RF), and obtain optimal generalization bounds under the basic setting, which can substantially relax the restriction on the number of local machines in the existing state-of-art bounds. Specifically, we first show that the simple combination of divide-and-conquer technique and random features can achieve the same statistical accuracy as the exact KRR in expectation requiring only $\mathcal{O}(|\mathcal{D}|)$ memory and $\mathcal{O}(|\mathcal{D}|^{1.5})$ time. Then, beyond the generalization bounds in expectation that demonstrate the average information for multiple trails, we derive generalization bounds in probability to capture the learning performance for a single trail. Finally, we propose an effective communication strategy to further improve the performance of DKRR-RF, and validate the theoretical bounds via numerical experiments.

Communication Lower Bounds for Distributed Convex Optimization: Partition Data on Features
Recently, there has been an increasing interest in designing distributed convex optimization algorithms under the setting where the data matrix is partitioned on features. Algorithms under this setting sometimes have man…
Improved Communication Lower Bounds for Distributed Optimisation
Motivated by the interest in communication-efficient methods for distributed machine learning, we consider the communication complexity of minimising a sum of $d$-dimensional functions $\sum_{i = 1}^N f_i (x)$, where eac…

Random feature methods have been successful in various machine learning tasks, are easy to compute, and come with theoretical accuracy bounds. They serve as an alternative approach to standard neural networks since they …
