• Abstract: The traditional approach in FL tries to learn a single global model collaboratively with the help of many clients under the orchestration of a central server. However, learning a single global model might not work well for all clients participating in the FL under data heterogeneity. Therefore, the personalization of the global model becomes crucial in handling the challenges that arise with statistical heterogeneity and the non-IID distribution of data. Unlike prior works, in this work we propose a new approach for obtaining a personalized model from a client-level objective. This further motivates all clients to participate in federation even under statistical heterogeneity in order to improve their performance, instead of merely being a source of data and model training for the central server. To realize this personalization, we leverage finding a small subnetwork for each client by applying hybrid pruning (combination of structured and unstructured pruning), and unstructured pruning. Through a range of experiments on different benchmarks, we observed that the clients with similar data (labels) share similar personal parameters. By finding a subnetwork for each client ...

  We train models organized in a multi-level structure, called Multi-level Additive Models (MAM)'', for better knowledge-sharing across heterogeneous clients. In federated MAM (FeMAM), each client is assigned to at most one model per level and its personalized prediction sums up the outputs of models assigned to it across all levels. Experiments show that FeMAM surpasses existing clustered FL and personalized FL methods in various non-IID settings.

  Federated Learning (FL) relies on the effectiveness of utilizing knowledge from distributed datasets. Traditional FL methods adopt an aggregate-then-adapt framework, where clients update local models based on a global model aggregated by the server from the previous training round. We introduce FedAF, a novel aggregation-free FL algorithm.

  We propose an alternative to federated learning, where each client federates with other relevant clients to obtain a stronger model per client-specific objectives. We do not assume knowledge of underlying data distributions or client similarities, and allow each client to optimize for arbitrary target distributions of interest. Our method outperforms existing alternatives, while also enabling new features for personalized FL such as transfer outside of local data distributions.
