Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the state of the art in distributed machine learning algorithms that are based on gradient optimization methods. In the big data era, large-scale datasets pose enormous challenges for the existing machine learning systems. As such, implementing machine learning algorithms in a distributed environment has become a key technology, and recent research has shown gradient-based iterative optimization to be an effective solution. Focusing on methods that can speed up large-scale gradient optimization through both algorithm optimizations and careful system implementations, the book introduces three essential techniques in designing a gradient optimization algorithm to train a distributed machine learning model: parallel strategy, data compression and synchronization protocol. Written in a tutorial style, it covers a range of topics, from fundamental knowledge to a number of carefully designed algorithms and systems of distributed machine learning. It will appeal to a broad audience in the field of machine learning, artificial intelligence, big data and database management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses state-of-the-art stochastic optimization algorithms for distributed machine learning and analyzes their convergence speed. The book first introduces stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and its distributed version, synchronous SGD, where the task of computing gradients is divided across several worker nodes. The author discusses several algorithms that improve the scalability and communication efficiency of synchronous SGD, such as asynchronous SGD, local-update SGD, quantized and sparsified SGD, and decentralized SGD. For each of these algorithms, the book analyzes its error versus iterations convergence, and the runtime spent per iteration. The author shows that each of these strategies to reduce communication or synchronization delays encounters a fundamental trade-off between error and runtime.

Book excerpt: An up-to-date account of the interplay between optimization and machine learning, accessible to students and researchers in both communities. The interplay between optimization and machine learning is one of the most important developments in modern computational science. Optimization formulations and methods are proving to be vital in designing algorithms to extract essential knowledge from huge volumes of data. Machine learning, however, is not simply a consumer of optimization technology but a rapidly evolving field that is itself generating new optimization ideas. This book captures the state of the art of the interaction between optimization and machine learning in a way that is accessible to researchers in both fields. Optimization approaches have enjoyed prominence in machine learning because of their wide applicability and attractive theoretical properties. The increasing complexity, size, and variety of today's machine learning models call for the reassessment of existing assumptions. This book starts the process of reassessment. It describes the resurgence in novel contexts of established frameworks such as first-order methods, stochastic approximations, convex relaxations, interior-point methods, and proximal methods. It also devotes attention to newer themes such as regularized optimization, robust optimization, gradient and subgradient methods, splitting techniques, and second-order methods. Many of these techniques draw inspiration from other fields, including operations research, theoretical computer science, and subfields of optimization. The book will enrich the ongoing cross-fertilization between the machine learning community and these other fields, and within the broader optimization community.

Download or read book Optimal Stochastic and Distributed Algorithms for Machine Learning written by Hua Ouyang and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stochastic and data-distributed optimization algorithms have received lots of attention from the machine learning community due to the tremendous demand from the large-scale learning and the big-data related optimization. A lot of stochastic and deterministic learning algorithms are proposed recently under various application scenarios. Nevertheless, many of these algorithms are based on heuristics and their optimality in terms of the generalization error is not sufficiently justified. In this talk, I will explain the concept of an optimal learning algorithm, and show that given a time budget and proper hypothesis space, only those achieving the lower bounds of the estimation error and the optimization error are optimal. Guided by this concept, we investigated the stochastic minimization of nonsmooth convex loss functions, a central problem in machine learning. We proposed a novel algorithm named Accelerated Nonsmooth Stochastic Gradient Descent, which exploits the structure of common nonsmooth loss functions to achieve optimal convergence rates for a class of problems including SVMs. It is the first stochastic algorithm that can achieve the optimal O(1/t) rate for minimizing nonsmooth loss functions. The fast rates are confirmed by empirical comparisons with state-of-the-art algorithms including the averaged SGD. The Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) is another flexible method to explore function structures. In the second part we proposed stochastic ADMM that can be applied to a general class of convex and nonsmooth functions, beyond the smooth and separable least squares loss used in lasso. We also demonstrate the rates of convergence for our algorithm under various structural assumptions of the stochastic function: O(1/sqrt{t}) for convex functions and O(log t/t) for strongly convex functions. A novel application named Graph-Guided SVM is proposed to demonstrate the usefulness of our algorithm. We also extend the scalability of stochastic algorithms to nonlinear kernel machines, where the problem is formulated as a constrained dual quadratic optimization. The simplex constraint can be handled by the classic Frank-Wolfe method. The proposed stochastic Frank-Wolfe methods achieve comparable or even better accuracies than state-of-the-art batch and online kernel SVM solvers, and are significantly faster. The last part investigates the problem of data-distributed learning. We formulate it as a consensus-constrained optimization problem and solve it with ADMM. It turns out that the underlying communication topology is a key factor in achieving a balance between a fast learning rate and computation resource consumption. We analyze the linear convergence behavior of consensus ADMM so as to characterize the interplay between the communication topology and the penalty parameters used in ADMM. We observe that given optimal parameters, the complete bipartite and the master-slave graphs exhibit the fastest convergence, followed by bi-regular graphs.
