Abstract
A computer implemented method of distributed learning in a system comprising a parameter server configured to maintain a global parameter set of a model to be trained and a plurality of workers. The method comprises transmitting a current global parameter set to a worker. The worker performs a training step based on training data available to the worker, thereby generating a local set of parameters of the model, determines a likelihood of the local set of parameters being suitable for improving the global parameter set and omits transmission of the local set of parameters to the parameter server if it is determined that the local set of parameters is not likely suitable for improving the global parameter set.
