Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Recently, consensus-based distributed optimization methods for multi-agent systems have been vigorously studied in the field of control theory. Using these methods, all agents can find the same optimal solution even though each agent knows only a small part of the objective function. This property is very important for machine learning, because each agent has access only to its own training data but can get the same result as in the case where it has access to whole training data. In this talk, the basic concept of consensus-based distributed optimization, and recent results obtained by the author's group are presented. First, representative consensus algorithms and their properties are explained. Next, the problem setting of consensus-based distributed optimization is shown, and some distributed optimization algorithms are illustrated. Finally, distributed algorithms developed by the author's group for optimization problems related to machine learning such as linear equations with nonnegativity constraints, training of neural networks and nonnegative matrix factorization are presented.
