Federated Reinforcement Learning: Linear Speedup Under Markovian Sampling

no code implementations21 Jun 2022 Sajad Khodadadian, Pranay Sharma, Gauri Joshi, Siva Theja Maguluri

To obtain these results, we show that federated TD and Q-learning are special cases of a general framework for federated stochastic approximation with Markovian noise, and we leverage this framework to provide a unified convergence analysis that applies to all the algorithms.

Information Theoretic Measures for Fairness-aware Feature Selection

no code implementations1 Jun 2021 Sajad Khodadadian, Mohamed Nafea, AmirEmad Ghassami, Negar Kiyavash

In particular, we first propose information theoretic measures which quantify the impact of different subsets of features on the accuracy and discrimination of the decision outcomes.

Finite-Sample Analysis of Off-Policy Natural Actor-Critic with Linear Function Approximation

no code implementations26 May 2021 Zaiwei Chen, Sajad Khodadadian, Siva Theja Maguluri

In this paper, we develop a novel variant of off-policy natural actor-critic algorithm with linear function approximation and we establish a sample complexity of $\mathcal{O}(\epsilon^{-3})$, outperforming all the previously known convergence bounds of such algorithms.

Finite-Sample Analysis of Off-Policy Natural Actor-Critic Algorithm

no code implementations18 Feb 2021 Sajad Khodadadian, Zaiwei Chen, Siva Theja Maguluri

In this paper, we provide finite-sample convergence guarantees for an off-policy variant of the natural actor-critic (NAC) algorithm based on Importance Sampling.

Impact of Data Processing on Fairness in Supervised Learning

no code implementations3 Feb 2021 Sajad Khodadadian, AmirEmad Ghassami, Negar Kiyavash

Finally, we show that by appropriate choice of the discrimination measure, the optimization problem for both pre and post processing approaches will reduce to a linear program and hence can be solved efficiently.

Finite Sample Analysis of Two-Time-Scale Natural Actor-Critic Algorithm

no code implementations26 Jan 2021 Sajad Khodadadian, Thinh T. Doan, Justin Romberg, Siva Theja Maguluri

In this paper, we characterize the \emph{global} convergence of an online natural actor-critic algorithm in the tabular setting using a single trajectory of samples.

Fairness in Supervised Learning: An Information Theoretic Approach

no code implementations13 Jan 2018 AmirEmad Ghassami, Sajad Khodadadian, Negar Kiyavash

To ensure fairness and generalization simultaneously, we compress the data to an auxiliary variable, which is used for the prediction task.
