Decentralized PCA algorithm achieves provably accelerated convergence

Researchers have developed an improved analysis for the Accelerated Noisy Power Method, an algorithm used in decentralized Principal Component Analysis (PCA). This new analysis relaxes the strict upper bounds on perturbation magnitudes previously required for accelerated convergence. The findings demonstrate that the derived convergence rate is worst-case optimal and establish the first decentralized PCA algorithm with provably accelerated convergence, maintaining similar communication costs to non-accelerated methods.

    Improved Analysis of the Accelerated Noisy Power Method with Applications to Decentralized PCA

    arXiv:2602.03682v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We analyze the Accelerated Noisy Power Method, an algorithm for Principal Component Analysis in the setting where only inexact matrix-vector products are available, which can arise for instance in decentralized PCA. While previo…
