arXiv:2606.01128v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Communication overhead is a crucial bottleneck in scalable distributed learning. While existing methods aim to efficiently utilize data points, such as Local SGD, Minibatch SGD, and their accelerated variants, they still exhibit communication-round complexity that scales with the total number of samples $N$. In this paper, we introduce Local MixVR, a distributed framework that integrates local updates with variance-reduction techniques to mitigate local noise. We show that Local MixVR is the first distributed method to eliminate the dependence of
The increasing scale of machine learning models and datasets necessitates more efficient distributed learning algorithms to overcome communication bottlenecks.
This research addresses a fundamental limitation in large-scale distributed AI training, potentially accelerating model development and deployment across various applications.
The elimination of communication-sample dependence allows for more rapid and scalable distributed learning, reducing the computational cost and time for training complex AI systems.
