Quality or Quantity? Error-Informed Selective Online Learning with Gaussian Processes in Multi-Agent Systems: Extended Version

  • 通过误差感知机制筛选邻居模型,优先选择高质量预测结果。
  • 在多个基准上优于现有方法,预测精度显著提升。
  • 适合对实时性与准确性要求高的多智能体系统应用。

在多智能体系统的分布式学习中,模型数量与质量的权衡至关重要。本文揭示了盲目聚合所有模型进行联合预测的不合理性,强调应优先保障质量而非数量。为此,首次提出分布式误差感知高斯过程(EIGP)选择性在线学习框架,使每个智能体能够评估邻近协作方,并利用所提出的筛选函数选择预测误差更小的高质量模型。算法层面,引入贪心加速(gEIGP)和自适应优化(aEIGP)策略,结合误差感知量化项迭代与数据删除机制,实现快速预测与实时模型更新。数值仿真验证了该方法在多种基准上的有效性,显著优于当前最先进的分布式高斯过程方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Effective cooperation is pivotal in distributed learning for multi-agent systems, where the interplay between the quantity and quality of the machine learning models is crucial. This paper reveals the irrationality of indiscriminate inclusion of all models on agents for joint prediction, highlighting the imperative to prioritize quality over quantity in cooperative learning. Specifically, we present the first selective online learning framework for distributed Gaussian process (GP) regression, namely distributed error-informed GP (EIGP), that enables each agent to assess its neighboring collaborators, using the proposed selection function to choose the higher quality GP models with less prediction errors. Moreover, algorithmic enhancements are embedded within the EIGP, including a greedy algorithm (gEIGP) for accelerating prediction and an adaptive algorithm (aEIGP) for improving prediction accuracy. In addition, approaches for fast prediction and model update are introduced in conjunction with the error-informed quantification term iteration and a data deletion strategy to achieve real-time learning operations. Numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed methodology, showcasing its superiority over the state-of-the-art distributed GP methods with different benchmarks.
