The paper introduces COIN-GP, an observer‑based dynamic cooperative learning framework for distributed sensor networks that jointly estimates system states and partially unknown dynamics when only partial state observations are available. It employs online distributed Gaussian Process regression and a novel data‑collection strategy with theoretical feasibility conditions, and derives an error upper bound that combines state and model estimation errors. Simulations show that COIN‑GP outperforms existing distributed GP‑based methods.
The paper introduces two distributed recursive Gaussian process algorithms, ADMM‑RGP and PDMM‑RGP, designed for multi‑output regression in multi‑agent systems. It analyzes their stability and convergence, proposes parameter selection strategies to speed up convergence, and demonstrates that the methods reduce communication overhead while preserving estimation accuracy and consensus. Experiments on a real‑world wind dataset confirm the algorithms’ effectiveness across different communication graph connectivities.

The paper introduces Personalized Federated Hierarchical Gaussian Processes (pFedHGP), a method for probabilistic regression and classification on data distributed across heterogeneous clients. Each client’s latent function is split into a shared global component, a client‑specific deviation that shares the global kernel, and a flexible local residual. Using sparse inducing‑variable approximations and federated variational inference, raw data remain local while the server exchanges only low‑dimensional statistics, enabling full predictive distributions for uncertainty‑aware decisions. In experiments, pFedHGP achieves perfect fault classification in press tonnage monitoring with only 13.77% of labeled cycles and accurately recovers geographic zones in federated air‑quality modeling without centralizing station‑level time series.

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.
