Semantic-based Distributed Learning for Diverse and Discriminative Representations

- 通过方差约束与对偶优化,实现多样且区分性强的特征提取。
- 在MNIST、CIFAR-10和CIFAR-100上验证了全局结构表示的有效性。
- 适用于异构数据分布,减少对统一网络结构的依赖。
在大规模分布式场景中,复杂任务要求跨网络智能协作,需联合提取数据样本的结构化表示。然而传统任务特定方法常生成非结构化嵌入,导致同类样本间特征差异缩小,尤其在分类任务中。为此,本文提出一种新型分布式学习框架,确保表征兼具多样性与判别性。针对独立同分布(i.i.d.)数据,通过引入表征方差约束,重构并解耦全局优化函数,利用原-对偶方法推导简化更新规则;对于非i.i.d.数据,采用聚类与虚拟节点复制策略,结合块坐标下降实现各簇内模型更新。两种情形下的最优解均被理论证明具备判别性与多样性,且在i.i.d.条件下保证收敛。此外,节点间共享语义信息,降低对统一神经网络架构的需求。大量实验在MNIST、CIFAR-10和CIFAR-100上证实所提算法能有效捕捉全局结构化表示。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In large-scale distributed scenarios, increasingly complex tasks demand more intelligent collaboration across networks, requiring the joint extraction of structural representations from data samples. However, conventional task-specific approaches often result in nonstructural embeddings, leading to collapsed variability among data samples within the same class, particularly in classification tasks. To address this issue and fully leverage the intrinsic structure of data for downstream applications, we propose a novel distributed learning framework that ensures both diverse and discriminative representations. For independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) data, we reformulate and decouple the global optimization function by introducing constraints on representation variance. The update rules are then derived and simplified using a primal-dual approach. For non-i.i.d. data distributions, we tackle the problem by clustering and virtually replicating nodes, allowing model updates within each cluster using block coordinate descent. In both cases, the resulting optimal solutions are theoretically proven to maintain discriminative and diverse properties, with a guaranteed convergence for i.i.d. conditions. Additionally, semantic information from representations is shared among nodes, reducing the need for common neural network architectures. Finally, extensive simulations on MNIST, CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 confirm the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms in capturing global structural representations.
