• Abstract summary: Federated Learning (FL) decouples model training from the need for direct access to the data. In this work, we investigated the impact of different hyperparameter optimization approaches in an FL system. We implemented these approaches based on grid search and Bayesian optimization and evaluated the algorithms on the MNIST data set and on the Internet of Things (IoT) sensor based industrial data set.

• Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) decouples model training from the need for direct access to the data and allows organizations to collaborate with industry partners to reach a satisfying level of performance without sharing vulnerable business information. The performance of a machine learning algorithm is highly sensitive to the choice of its hyperparameters. In an FL setting, hyperparameter optimization poses new challenges. In this work, we investigated the impact of different hyperparameter optimization approaches in an FL system. In an effort to reduce communication costs, a critical bottleneck in FL, we investigated a local hyperparameter optimization approach that -- in contrast to a global hyperparameter optimization approach -- allows every client to have its own hyperparameter configuration. We implemented these approaches based on grid search and Bayesian optimization and evaluated the algorithms on the MNIST data set using an i.i.d. partition and on an Internet of Things (IoT) sensor based industrial data set using a non-i.i.d. partition.
