SUMMARY:"Big Thought Time Talk" by Nokia: “Fast Distributed Optimization
 with Asynchrony and Time Delays”
DESCRIPTION:The training of models over distributed data calls for
 distributed optimization schemes. This has motivated research on
 distributed convex optimization\, leading to the identification of lower
 bounds on convergence speed\, and distributed optimization algorithms with
 convergence speed potentially matching these lower bounds\, for a variety
 of settings.\n\n\nIn this talk we focus on the important setting of
 asynchronous operation\, for which we propose optimization algorithms with
 optimal speed. We next consider systems with heterogeneous communication
 and computation delays\, for which we propose fast asynchronous algorithms
 adapted to these heterogeneous delays.\n\nBio:\nLaurent Massoulié is
 research director at Inria\, head of the Microsoft Research – Inria Joint
 Centre\, and professor at the Applied Maths Centre of Ecole Polytechnique.
 His research interests are in machine learning\, probabilistic modelling
 and algorithms for networks. He has held research scientist positions at:
 France Telecom\, Microsoft Research\, Thomson-Technicolor\, where he headed
 the Paris Research Lab. He obtained best paper awards at IEEE INFOCOM
 1999\, ACM SIGMETRICS 2005\, ACM CoNEXT 2007\, NeurIPS 2018\, was elected
 "Technicolor Fellow" in 2011\, received the &nbsp\;"Grand Prix
 Scientifique" of the Del Duca Foundation delivered by the French Academy of
 Science in 2017\, and is a Fellow of the LINCS Laboratory.\n\n\n\nLINCS
 hosted this talk in its premises at 23 avenue
 d'Italie.&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;\n**The talk was organised by Nokia in the
 framework of its "Big Thought Time Talk" series. All institutional
 parteners of the LINCS\, including Nokia and Inria\, have indeed
 long-standing partnership in solving future network challenges as well as
 the role of machines in automating and augmenting human existence.
