Speaker Sriram Pemmaraju Abstract An important resource in distributed computation is the volume of information that needs to travel between different processors. Efficient distributed algorithms aim to keep this volume, also known as the \textit{message complexity}, as low as possible. The focus of this talk will be the message complexity of distributed algorithms for classical graph optimization problems such as minimum vertex cover (MVC). I will show a strong separation between the mes...

SA appears in many areas such as optimization and Reinforcement Learning (RL). When implemented in practice, the noise that appears in the update of RL algorithms is naturally Markovian. Furthermore, in some settings, such as gradient temporal difference (GTD), SA is employed in a two-time-scale manner. The mix of Markovia...
