Why can't we train neural networks in a peer-to-peer manner?
I have recently been exposed to the concept of decentralized applications,
I know that neural networks require a lot of parallel computing infra for training.
What are the technical difficulties one ...

Why do we average gradients and not loss in distributed training?
I'm running some distributed trainings in Tensorflow with Horovod. It runs training separately on multiple workers, each of which uses the same weights and does forward pass on unique data. Computed ...
