In an 80-country panel since the 1960s, the convergence rate for per capita GDP is around 1.7% per year. This "beta convergence" is conditional on an array of explanatory variables that hold constant ...
Abstract: Personalized federated learning (PFL), as a novel federated learning (FL) paradigm, is capable of generating personalized models for heterogenous clients. Combined with a meta-learning ...
Abstract: We establish the O([1/k]) convergence rate for distributed stochastic gradient methods that operate over strongly convex costs and random networks. The considered class of methods is ...
