Abstract
Methods for compression switching that includes distributing a model to client nodes, which use the model to generate a gradient vector (GV) based on a client node data set. The method includes receiving a model update that includes a gradient sign vector (GSV) based on the gradient vector; generating an updated model using the GSV; and distributing the updated model to the client nodes. The client node uses the updated model to generate a second GV based on a second client node data set. The method also includes a determination that a compression switch condition exists; based on the determination, transmitting an instruction to the client node to perform a compression switch; receiving, in response to the instruction, another model update including a subset GSV based on the second gradient vector; generating a second updated model using the subset GSV; and distributing the second updated model to the client nodes.
