针对边缘设备通信频繁与不稳定的难题,提出局部更新与部分参与的扩散学习新方法。

Diffusion Learning with Partial Agent Participation and Local Updates

  • 引入局部更新减少通信频率,仅在必要时通信。
  • 支持设备按可用性动态参与,提升系统鲁棒性。
  • 理论证明算法均方误差稳定,适合资源受限的边缘场景。

扩散学习赋予边缘设备先进智能,通过本地处理数据并仅与邻近设备通信,有效保护隐私、实现实时响应并降低对中心服务器的依赖。然而,传统扩散学习需每轮迭代通信,导致通信开销大,尤其在大型模型下更为显著;同时,边缘设备因断电或信号丢失具有固有的不稳定性,影响邻近设备间可靠通信。为此,本文研究一种融合局部更新与部分设备参与的增强型扩散学习方法:局部更新可降低通信频率,部分参与则根据设备可用性动态纳入。理论证明该算法在均方误差意义下稳定,并提供紧致的均方偏差(MSD)性能分析。大量数值实验验证了理论结论。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Diffusion learning is a framework that endows edge devices with advanced intelligence. By processing and analyzing data locally and allowing each agent to communicate with its immediate neighbors, diffusion effectively protects the privacy of edge devices, enables real-time response, and reduces reliance on central servers. However, traditional diffusion learning relies on communication at every iteration, leading to communication overhead, especially with large learning models. Furthermore, the inherent volatility of edge devices, stemming from power outages or signal loss, poses challenges to reliable communication between neighboring agents. To mitigate these issues, this paper investigates an enhanced diffusion learning approach incorporating local updates and partial agent participation. Local updates will curtail communication frequency, while partial agent participation will allow for the inclusion of agents based on their availability. We prove that the resulting algorithm is stable in the mean-square error sense and provide a tight analysis of its Mean-Square-Deviation (MSD) performance. Various numerical experiments are conducted to illustrate our theoretical findings.
