  ABSTRACT: This paper aims to reduce the communication cost of the distributed learning algorithm for stochastic configuration networks (SCNs), in which information exchange between the learning agents is conducted only at a trigger time. For this purpose, we propose the communication-censored distributed learning algorithm for SCN, namely ADMMM-SCN-ET, by introducing the event-triggered communication mechanism to the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). To avoid unnecessary information transmissions, each learning agent is equipped with a trigger function. Only if the event-trigger error exceeds a specified threshold and meets the trigger condition, the agent will transmit the variable information to its neighbors and update its state in time. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the communication cost for training decentralized SCNs and save communication resources.
