Proposes Decentralized Primal Averaging (DPA), a decentralized training method extending centralized primal averaging with quasi-global momentum to handle highly heterogeneous client data on sparse communication graphs.

Problem

Decentralized training of deep models across clients with heterogeneous local data degrades test accuracy, especially on sparse communication graphs.

Approach

Extends centralized primal averaging to the decentralized setting and combines it with quasi-global momentum to counter data heterogeneity over sparse graphs.

Experimental setup

Metrics: test accuracy

Builds on: primal averaging quasi-global momentum
