A. Elgabli, J. Park, A. Bedi, V. Aggarwal, and M. Bennis, Journal of Machine Learning Research (JMLR), Apr. 2020.Acceptance rate: 11.9%, ResearchGate Top 3% Articles Uploaded in 2019.TLDR: Exchanging model updates only with neighbors guarantees the convergence of distributed learning.
TLDR: Exchanging model outputs suffices to enable federated learning; Federated GAN training resolves non-IID data problems.
TLDR: DL and UL data rates in an ultra-dense 5G system are a log-function of BS-to-user density ratio; Uplink mmWave is a bottleneck, calling for the aid from BS densification and the legacy frequency bands.
