Adaptive decision-making over complex networks

TLDR
This work develops and study a procedure by which the entire network can be made to follow one objective or the other through a distributed and collaborative decision process.
Abstract
It is common for biological networks to encounter situations where agents need to decide between multiple options, such as deciding between moving towards one food source or another or between moving towards a new hive or another. In previous works, we developed several powerful diffusion strategies that allow agents to estimate a model of interest in an adaptive and distributed manner through a process of in-network collaboration and learning. In this work, we consider the situation in which the data observed by the agents may arise from two different distributions or models. We develop and study a procedure by which the entire network can be made to follow one objective or the other through a distributed and collaborative decision process.

Multitask Diffusion Adaptation Over Networks

TL;DR: This paper employs diffusion strategies to develop distributed algorithms that address multitask problems by minimizing an appropriate mean-square error criterion with l2-regularization and demonstrates how the distributed strategy can be used in several useful applications related to target localization and hyperspectral data unmixing.

Distributed Decision-Making Over Adaptive Networks

TL;DR: This paper considers the situation in which the data observed by the agents may have risen from two different models, and develops a classification scheme for agents to identify the models that generated the data, and proposes a procedure by which the entire network can be made to converge towards the same model through a collaborative decision-making process.
