Original Abstract Submitted

Decentralized bilevel optimization techniques for personalized learning over a heterogenous network are provided. In one aspect, a decentralized learning system includes: a distributed machine learning network with multiple nodes, and datasets associated with the nodes; and a bilevel learning structure at each of the nodes for optimizing one or more features from each of the datasets using a decentralized bilevel optimization solver, while maintaining distinct features from each of the datasets. A method for decentralized learning is also provided.
