• Abstract: In this paper, we design Top-DP, a novel solution to optimize the differential privacy protection of decentralized image classification systems. The key insight of our solution is to leverage the unique features of decentralized communication topologies to reduce the noise scale and improve the model usability. (1) We enhance the DP-SGD algorithm with this topology-aware noise reduction strategy, and integrate the time-aware noise decay technique. (2) We design two novel learning protocols (synchronous and asynchronous) to protect systems with different network connectivities and topologies. We formally analyze and prove the DP requirement of our proposed solutions. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that our solution achieves a better trade-off between usability and privacy than prior works. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first DP optimization work from the perspective of network topologies.

  Federated Learning (FL) provides a privacy-preserving framework for training machine learning models on mobile edge devices. Traditional FL algorithms, e.g., FedAvg, impose a heavy communication workload on these devices. We propose a two-tier HFEL system, where edge devices are connected to edge servers and edge servers are interconnected through peer-to-peer (P2P) edge backhauls. Our goal is to enhance the training efficiency of the HFEL system through strategic resource allocation and topology design.
