• Abstract summary: We tackle the non-problem of learning a personalized deep learning model in a decentralized setting. We propose a method named Performance-Based Neighbor Selection (PENS) where clients with similar data detect each other and cooperate. PENS is able to achieve higher accuracies as compared to strong baselines.

• Abstract: We tackle the non-convex problem of learning a personalized deep learning model in a decentralized setting. More specifically, we study decentralized federated learning, a peer-to-peer setting where data is distributed among many clients and where there is no central server to orchestrate the training. In real world scenarios, the data distributions are often heterogeneous between clients. Therefore, in this work we study the problem of how to efficiently learn a model in a peer-to-peer system with non-iid client data. We propose a method named Performance-Based Neighbor Selection (PENS) where clients with similar data distributions detect each other and cooperate by evaluating their training losses on each other's data to learn a model suitable for the local data distribution. Our experiments on benchmark datasets show that our proposed method is able to achieve higher accuracies as compared to strong baselines.

  Federated Cluster-Wise Refinement (FedCRef) involves clients that collaboratively train models on clusters with similar data distributions. In these groups, clients collaboratively train a shared model representing each data distribution, while continuously refining their local clusters to enhance data association accuracy. This iterative process allows our system to identify all potential data distributions across the network and develop robust representation models for each.

We propose em FedClust, a novel approach for CFL that leverages the correlation between local model weights and the data distribution of clients.

  Federated learning is an emerging distributed machine learning method. We propose a heterogeneous local variant of AMSGrad, named FedLALR, in which each client adjusts its learning rate. We show that our client-specified auto-tuned learning rate scheduling can converge and achieve linear speedup with respect to the number of clients.

  Personalization in federated learning functions as a coordinator for clients with high variance in data or behavior. It is generally challenging to quantify similarity under limited knowledge about other users' models given to users in a decentralized network. We propose a personalized and fully decentralized FL algorithm, leveraging knowledge distillation techniques to empower each device so as to discern statistical distances between local models.

• Data Selection for Efficient Model Update in Federated Learning [0.07614628596146598]
  We propose to reduce the amount of local data that is needed to train a global model. We do this by splitting the model into a lower part for generic feature extraction and an upper part that is more sensitive to the characteristics of the local data. Our experiments show that less than 1% of the local data can transfer the characteristics of the client data to the global model.

• Towards Fair Federated Learning with Zero-Shot Data Augmentation [123.37082242750866]
  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).

  We propose a novel federated learning framework and algorithm for learning a shared data representation across clients and unique local heads for each client. Our algorithm harnesses the distributed computational power across clients to perform many local-updates with respect to the low-dimensional local parameters for every update of the representation. This result is of interest beyond federated learning to a broad class of problems in which we aim to learn a shared low-dimensional representation among data distributions.

  Deep learning has been successful for many computer vision tasks due to the availability of shared and centralised large-scale training data.
