• Title: Data Selection for Efficient Model Update in Federated Learning
• Authors: Hongrui Shi, Valentin Radu
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: The Federated Learning workflow of training a centralized model with distributed data is growing in popularity. However, until recently, this was the realm of contributing clients with similar computing capabilities. The fast expanding IoT space and data being generated and processed at the edge are encouraging more effort into expanding federated learning to include heterogeneous systems. Previous approaches distribute smaller models to clients for distilling the characteristic of local data. But the problem of training with vast amounts of local data on the client side still remains. 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. We reduce the amount of data needed to train the upper part by clustering the local data and selecting only the most representative samples to use for training. Our experiments show that less than 1% of the local data can transfer the characteristics of the client data to the global model with our slit network approach. These preliminary results are encouraging continuing towards federated learning with reduced amount of data on devices with limited computing resources, but which hold critical information to contribute to the global model.

  Federated learning enables joint training of machine learning models from distributed clients without sharing their local data. One key challenge in federated learning is to handle non-identically distributed data across the clients. We propose a novel federated learning framework with projected trajectory regularization (FedPTR) for tackling the data issue.

  Federated Learning (FL) has become a popular distributed learning paradigm that involves multiple clients training a global model collaboratively. The data samples usually follow a long-tailed distribution in the real world, and FL on the decentralized and long-tailed data yields a poorly-behaved global model. In this work, we integrate the local real data with the global gradient prototypes to form the local balanced datasets.

  FedHKD (Federated Hyper-Knowledge Distillation) is a novel FL algorithm in which clients rely on knowledge distillation to train local models. Unlike other KD-based pFL methods, FedHKD does not rely on a public dataset nor it deploys a generative model at the server. We conduct extensive experiments on visual datasets in a variety of scenarios, demonstrating that FedHKD provides significant improvement in both personalized as well as global model performance.

  Local training on non-iid distributed data results in deflected local optimum. A natural solution is to gather all client data onto the server, such that the server has a global view of the entire data distribution. In this paper, we put forth an idea to collect and leverage global knowledge on the server without hindering data privacy.

  Federated learning allows clients to collaboratively learn statistical models while keeping their data local. Recent personalized federated learning methods train a separate model for each client while still leveraging the knowledge available at other clients. We show on a suite of federated datasets that this approach achieves significantly higher accuracy and fairness than state-of-the-art methods.

• 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).

  Federated Learning (FL) has shown great potential as a privacy-preserving solution to learning from decentralized data.
