Distributed Multitask Learning

2 Oct 2015  ·  Jialei Wang, Mladen Kolar, Nathan Srebro ·

We consider the problem of distributed multi-task learning, where each machine learns a separate, but related, task. Specifically, each machine learns a linear predictor in high-dimensional space,where all tasks share the same small support. We present a communication-efficient estimator based on the debiased lasso and show that it is comparable with the optimal centralized method.
