Abstract: As data gets larger and more decentralized, distributed algorithms over networks provide ample opportunities in many important applications. In this talk, we shall exploit the distributed gradient tracking technique (DGT) to solve large-scale optimization and learning problems, and propose a fully asynchronous DGT which is easy to implement in directed networks with distributed datasets and robust to bounded transmission delays, while maintaining a linear convergence rate if local functions are strongly-convex with Lipschitz-continuous gradients. Moreover, we adopt the DGT to design distributed algorithms with explicit convergence rates for the distributed resource allocation and distributed training over networks, respectively. Experiments are included to show their advantages against the-state-of-the-art algorithms.
