A Privacy-Masking Learning Algorithm for Online Distributed Optimization over Time-Varying Unbalanced Digraphs by Rong Hu, Binru Zhang

“…The proposed algorithm can not only protect the privacy of participants without compromising a trusted third party, but also be implemented on more general time-varying unbalanced digraphs. Under mild conditions, we then show that the proposed algorithm can achieve a sublinear expected bound of regret for general local convex objective functions. …”
