- Authors: Tzu-Ming Harry Hsu, Hang Qi, and Matthew Brown
- Abstract summary: We characterize the effect real-world data distributions have on distributed learning, using as a benchmark the standard Federated Averaging (FedAvg) algorithm.
We introduce two new large-scale datasets for species and landmark classification, with realistic per-user data splits.
We also develop two new algorithms (FedVC, FedIR) that intelligently resample and reweight over the client pool, bringing large improvements in accuracy and stability in training.

- Abstract: Federated Learning enables visual models to be trained on-device, bringing
advantages for user privacy (data need never leave the device), but challenges
in terms of data diversity and quality. Whilst typical models in the datacenter
are trained using data that are independent and identically distributed (IID),
data at source are typically far from IID. Furthermore, differing quantities of
data are typically available at each device (imbalance). In this work, we
characterize the effect these real-world data distributions have on distributed
learning, using as a benchmark the standard Federated Averaging (FedAvg)
algorithm. To do so, we introduce two new large-scale datasets for species and
landmark classification, with realistic per-user data splits that simulate
real-world edge learning scenarios. We also develop two new algorithms (FedVC,
FedIR) that intelligently resample and reweight over the client pool, bringing
large improvements in accuracy and stability in training. The datasets are made
available online.

Federated Learning (FL) is a decentralized approach for collaborative model training on edge devices.
We present a method to improve convergence in FL by creating a global subset of data on the server and dynamically distributing it across devices.
Our approach results in a substantial accuracy boost of approximately 5% for the MNIST dataset, around 18% for CIFAR-10, and 20% for CIFAR-100 with a 10% global subset of data, outperforming the state-of-the-art (SOTA) aggregation algorithms.

Federated Learning (FL) provides a privacy-preserving mechanism for distributed training of machine learning models on networked devices.
We propose FLIGAN, a novel approach to address the issue of data incompleteness in FL.
Our methodology adheres to FL's privacy requirements by generating synthetic data in a federated manner without sharing the actual data in the process.

We explore the impact of training with more diverse datasets on the performance of self-supervised learning (SSL) under a fixed computational budget.

We propose a two-stage Decoupled Federated learning framework using Feature Statistics (DFL-FS)
In the first stage, the server estimates the client's class coverage distributions through masked local feature statistics clustering.
In the second stage, DFL-FS employs federated feature regeneration based on global feature statistics to enhance the model's adaptability to long-tailed data distributions.

Federated learning has emerged as an important distributed learning paradigm, where a server aggregates a global model from many client-trained models while having no access to the client data.
We propose a novel federated learning system that employs zero-shot data augmentation on under-represented data to mitigate statistical heterogeneity and encourage more uniform accuracy performance across clients in federated networks.
We study two variants of this scheme, Fed-ZDAC (federated learning with zero-shot data augmentation at the clients) and Fed-ZDAS (federated learning with zero-shot data augmentation at the server).
