When scaling distributed training, the communication overhead is often the bottleneck. In this paper, we propose a novel SGD variant with reduced communication and adaptive learning rates. We prove the convergence of the proposed algorithm for smooth but non-convex problems. Empirical results show that the proposed algorithm significantly reduces the communication overhead, which, in turn, reduces the training time by up to 30% for the 1B word dataset.
