| Jan 12, 2026 | We were honored with the 2023 Charles Broyden Prize for our paper Stochastic distributed learning with gradient quantization and double-variance reduction. The Charles Broyden Prize is an annual international award honoring the best paper published in the journal Optimization Methods and Software (OMS) during the preceding year. The work highlights how fundamental optimization research enables more efficient, scalable machine learning systems. Most of the results where derived durin a reserach visit at KAUST, and in joint work with Samuel Horváth, Dmitry Kovalev, Konstantin Mishchenko, Peter Richtárik. |
