Rejection of Workers with Heterogeneous (Mismatched) Data in Federated Learning *

Rick S. Blum;Brian M. Sadler

ICASSP 2025 - 2025 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)
Year: 2025 | Conference Paper |
Federated learning (FL) has attracted great attention lately due to many advantages it provides. The community has noted that FL performance can be greatly degraded by heterogeneous data or any data that is unsuitable for the learning problem under consideration. Here we focus on the gradient descent and heavy ball algorithms in a worker-server architecture and describe a simple but effective appr...Show More

Regret and Belief Complexity Tradeoff in Gaussian Process Bandits via Information Thresholding

Amrit Singh Bedi;Dheeraj Peddireddy;Vaneet Aggarwal;Brian M. Sadler;Alec Koppel

IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence
Year: 2025 | Volume: 6, Issue: 3 | Journal Article |
Bayesian optimization is a powerful framework for global search, using maximum a posteriori updates instead of simulated annealing. We cast it as a multiarmed bandit problem with a Gaussian process (GP) for the payoff function. Action selections rely on upper confidence bound (UCB) or expected improvement (EI). Prior works with GPs faced challenges for large iteration horizons (T) due to cubic s...Show More

Quickest Detection for Human-Sensor Systems Using Quantum Decision Theory

Luke Snow;Vikram Krishnamurthy;Brian M. Sadler

IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing
Year: 2024 | Volume: 72 | Journal Article |
A sensor observes an underlying state of nature in noise, computes a posterior probability of this state, and provides this posterior as a recommendation to a human decision-maker. The human then makes decisions based on this recommendation. By recording these human decisions over time, how can a quickest detector detect a change in the underlying state? This paper addresses the above human-sensor...Show More
