Tight Convergence Rates for Online Distributed Linear Estimation with Adversarial Measurements

ArXi:2604.06282v1 Announce Type: cross We study mean estimation of a random vector $X$ in a distributed parameter-server-worker setup. Worker $i$ observes samples of $a_i^\top X$, where $a_i^\top$ is the $i$th row of a known sensing matrix $A$. The key challenges are adversarial measurements and asynchrony: a fixed subset of workers may transmit corrupted measurements, and workers are activated asynchronously--only one is active at any time.
