• Abstract summary: In BO, a computationally cheap surrogate model is employed to learn the relationship between parameter configurations and their performance. We present an asynchronous-decentralized BO, wherein each worker runs a sequential BO and asynchronously communicates its results through shared storage. We scale our method without loss of computational efficiency with above 95% of worker's utilization to 1,920 parallel workers.

• Abstract: Bayesian optimization (BO) is a promising approach for hyperparameter optimization of deep neural networks (DNNs), where each model training can take minutes to hours. In BO, a computationally cheap surrogate model is employed to learn the relationship between parameter configurations and their performance such as accuracy. Parallel BO methods often adopt single manager/multiple workers strategies to evaluate multiple hyperparameter configurations simultaneously. Despite significant hyperparameter evaluation time, the overhead in such centralized schemes prevents these methods to scale on a large number of workers. We present an asynchronous-decentralized BO, wherein each worker runs a sequential BO and asynchronously communicates its results through shared storage. We scale our method without loss of computational efficiency with above 95% of worker's utilization to 1,920 parallel workers (full production queue of the Polaris supercomputer) and demonstrate improvement in model accuracy as well as faster convergence on the CANDLE benchmark from the Exascale computing project.

  Machine learning (ML) is a key technique for big-data-driven modelling and analysis of massive Internet of Things (IoT) based intelligent and ubiquitous computing. For fast-increasing applications and data amounts, distributed learning is a promising emerging paradigm since it is often impractical or inefficient to share/aggregate data.

  Big data, including applications with high security requirements, are often collected and stored on multiple heterogeneous devices, such as mobile devices, drones and vehicles. Due to the limitations of communication costs and security requirements, it is of paramount importance to extract information in a decentralized manner instead of aggregating data to a fusion center. We consider the problem of learning model parameters in a multi-agent system with data locally processed via distributed edge nodes. A class of mini-batch alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithms is explored to develop the distributed learning model.
