A Learning-Based Approach to Approximate Coded ComputationNavneet Agrawal, Yuqin Qiu, Matthias Frey et al.
Lagrange coded computation (LCC) is essential to solving problems about matrix polynomials in a coded distributed fashion; nevertheless, it can only solve the problems that are representable as matrix polynomials. In this paper, we propose AICC, an AI-aided learning approach that is inspired by LCC but also uses deep neural networks (DNNs). It is appropriate for coded computation of more general functions. Numerical simulations demonstrate the suitability of the proposed approach for the coded computation of different matrix functions that are often utilized in digital signal processing.

Inverse Feasibility in Over-the-Air Federated LearningTomasz Piotrowski, Rafail Ismayilov, Matthias Frey et al.
We introduce the concept of inverse feasibility for linear forward models as a tool to enhance OTA FL algorithms. Inverse feasibility is defined as an upper bound on the condition number of the forward operator as a function of its parameters. We analyze an existing OTA FL model using this definition, identify areas for improvement, and propose a new OTA FL model. Numerical experiments illustrate the main implications of the theoretical results. The proposed framework, which is based on inverse problem theory, can potentially complement existing notions of security and privacy by providing additional desirable characteristics to networks.
