• Abstract: Federated Learning (FL), Split Learning (SL), and SplitFed Learning (SFL) are three recent developments in distributed machine learning that are gaining attention due to their ability to preserve the privacy of raw data. Thus, they are widely applicable in various domains where data is sensitive, such as large-scale medical image classification, internet-of-medical-things, and cross-organization phishing email detection. SFL is developed on the confluence point of FL and SL. It brings the best of FL and SL by providing parallel client-side machine learning model updates from the FL paradigm and a higher level of model privacy (while training) by splitting the model between the clients and server coming from SL. However, SFL has communication and computation overhead at the client-side due to the requirement of client-side model synchronization. For the resource-constrained client-side, removal of such requirements is required to gain efficiency in the learning. In this regard, this paper studies SFL without client-side model synchronization. The resulting architecture is known as Multi-head Split Learning. Our empirical studies considering the ResNet18 model on MNIST data under IID data distribution among distributed clients find that Multi-head Split Learning is feasible. Its performance is comparable to the SFL. Moreover, SFL provides only 1%-2% better accuracy than Multi-head Split Learning on the MNIST test set. To further strengthen our results, we study the Multi-head Split Learning with various client-side model portions and its impact on the overall performance. To this end, our results find a minimal impact on the overall performance of the model.

  In Federated Learning (FL), clients may have weak devices that cannot train the full model or even hold it in their memory space. We propose EmbracingFL, a general FL framework that allows all available clients to join the distributed training. Our empirical study shows that EmbracingFL consistently achieves high accuracy as like all clients are strong, outperforming the state-of-the-art width reduction methods.

  Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative model training across distributed clients without sharing raw data. SplitFed learning (SFL) is a recent distributed approach that alleviates computation workload at the client device by splitting the model at a cut layer into two parts. MiniBatch-SFL incorporates MiniBatch SGD into SFL, where the clients train the client-side model in an FL fashion while the server trains the server-side model.

  Federated learning (FL) is a promising approach in distributed learning keeping privacy. During the training pipeline of FL, slow or incapable clients (i.e., stragglers) slow down the total training time and degrade performance. We propose nested federated learning (NeFL), a framework that efficiently divides a model into submodels using both depthwise and widthwise scaling.

  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.

  We propose a decentralized FL framework by integrating blockchain into FL, namely, blockchain assisted decentralized federated learning (BLADE-FL) In a round of the proposed BLADE-FL, each client broadcasts its trained model to other clients, competes to generate a block based on the received models, and then aggregates the models from the generated block before its local training of the next round. We explore the impact of lazy clients on the learning performance of BLADE-FL, and characterize the relationship among the optimal K, the learning parameters, and the proportion of lazy clients.

  In distributed collaborative machine learning (DCML) paradigm, federated learning (FL) recently attracted much attention due to its applications in health, finance, and the latest innovations such as industry 4.0 and smart vehicles. In practical scenarios, all clients do not have sufficient computing resources (e.g., Internet of Things), the machine learning model has millions of parameters, and its privacy between the server and the clients is a prime concern. Recently, a hybrid of FL and SL, called splitfed learning, is introduced to elevate the benefits of both FL (faster training/testing time) and SL (model split and

  Federated Learning (FL) is a machine learning setting where many devices collaboratively train a machine learning model.
