We are very happy to announce that Yin Tat Lee (ADSI coPI), along with a team of researchers that includes ADSI member Sebastien Bubeck of Microsoft Research, has won the Best Paper Award at the 32nd Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) 2018. The paper presents two new algorithms that achieve optimal convergence rates for optimizing non-smooth convex functions in distributed networks. More details can be found in the Allen School news post.
