• Abstract summary: We propose a novel framework of 'learning to learn' for effective Edge Learning (EL) on heterogeneous edges with resource constraints. We propose an Online Learning for EL (OL4EL) framework based on the budget-limited multi-armed bandit model. OL4EL supports both synchronous and asynchronous learning patterns, and can be used for both supervised and unsupervised learning tasks.

• Abstract: Distributed machine learning (ML) at network edge is a promising paradigm that can preserve both network bandwidth and privacy of data providers. However, heterogeneous and limited computation and communication resources on edge servers (or edges) pose great challenges on distributed ML and formulate a new paradigm of Edge Learning (i.e. edge-cloud collaborative machine learning). In this article, we propose a novel framework of 'learning to learn' for effective Edge Learning (EL) on heterogeneous edges with resource constraints. We first model the dynamic determination of collaboration strategy (i.e. the allocation of local iterations at edge servers and global aggregations on the Cloud during collaborative learning process) as an online optimization problem to achieve the tradeoff between the performance of EL and the resource consumption of edge servers. Then, we propose an Online Learning for EL (OL4EL) framework based on the budget-limited multi-armed bandit model. OL4EL supports both synchronous and asynchronous learning patterns, and can be used for both supervised and unsupervised learning tasks. To evaluate the performance of OL4EL, we conducted both real-world testbed experiments and extensive simulations based on docker containers, where both Support Vector Machine and K-means were considered as use cases. Experimental results demonstrate that OL4EL significantly outperforms state-of-the-art EL and other collaborative ML approaches in terms of the trade-off between learning performance and resource consumption.

  Key technology for edge intelligence is the privacy-protecting machine learning paradigm known as Federated Learning (FL), which enables data owners to train models without having to transfer raw data to third-party servers. To reduce node failures and device exits, a Hierarchical Federated Learning (HFL) framework is proposed, where a designated cluster leader supports the data owner through intermediate model aggregation. In order to mitigate the impact of soft clicks on the quality of user experience (QoE), the authors model the user QoE as a comprehensive system cost.

  Split learning (SL) has emerged as a promising approach for model training without revealing the raw data samples from the data owners. Traditional SL inevitably leaks label privacy as the tail model (with the last layers) should be placed on the server. One promising solution is to utilize U-shaped architecture to leave both early layers and last layers on the user side.

  Federated learning (FL) has been promoted as a popular technique for training machine learning (ML) models over edge/fog networks. Traditional implementations of FL have largely neglected the potential for inter-network cooperation. We advocate for cooperative federated learning (CFL), a cooperative edge/fog ML paradigm built on device-to-device (D2D) and device-to-server (D2S) interactions.

  Federated learning (FL) and Split Learning (SL) are two frameworks that enable collaborative learning while keeping the data private (on device) In FL, each data holder trains a model locally and releases it to a central server for aggregation. In SL, the clients must release individual cut-layer activations (smashed data) to the server and wait for its response (during both inference and back propagation). In this work, we present a novel approach for privacy-preserving machine learning, where the clients collaborate via online knowledge distillation using a contrastive loss.
