COIN-GP: Cooperative Online Learning in Networked Distributed Systems with Partial Measurements via Gaussian Process Regression

The paper introduces COIN-GP, an observer‑based cooperative learning framework for distributed sensor networks that jointly estimates system states and partially unknown dynamics using online distributed Gaussian Process regression. It addresses challenges of incomplete state observations and deficient GP models by proposing a novel data collection strategy with theoretical feasibility conditions. The authors also derive an error upper bound for both state and model estimation and demonstrate through simulations that COIN‑GP outperforms existing distributed GP‑based methods.

Resilience Beyond Stationary Client Unavailability: Unlocking Efficient and Unbiased Federated Learning

The paper introduces FedSWE, a federated learning algorithm designed to handle non‑stationary and heterogeneous client availability without requiring prior real‑time knowledge of which devices are online. FedSWE compensates for missed computations, stabilizes global updates, and mixes local updates through implicit gossiping, all while adding only modest memory and computational overhead. The authors prove that FedSWE converges to a stationary point for non‑convex objectives and achieves linear speedup in certain scenarios, and they validate these claims with experiments on real‑world datasets featuring diverse client unavailability patterns.

Adaptive Bayesian Online Learning via Expert Aggregation

arXiv:2607. 20239v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Bayesian online learning promises uncertainty-aware prediction on data streams, but its performance hinges on inferential choices, including learning rates, prior distributions and variational families, which are usually fixed before seeing the stream.
