Proposes DIVERSE, a decentralized variance-reduced optimistic gradient method with stochastic mini-batch sizes for convex-concave finite-sum minimax problems over networks, claiming near-optimal complexity.

Problem

Distributed convex-concave finite-sum minimax optimization over a network of agents, where prior methods' convergence depends on local rather than global smoothness parameters.

Approach

A decentralized variance-reduced optimistic gradient method with stochastic mini-batch sizes whose linear rate depends on global smoothness parameters, yielding sharper computation and communication complexity than prior decentralized methods.
