• Abstract: Federated learning (FL) allows multiple clients to collectively train a high-performance global model without sharing their private data. However, the key challenge in federated learning is that the clients have significant statistical heterogeneity among their local data distributions, which would cause inconsistent optimized local models on the client-side. To address this fundamental dilemma, we propose a novel federated learning algorithm with local drift decoupling and correction (FedDC). Our FedDC only introduces lightweight modifications in the local training phase, in which each client utilizes an auxiliary local drift variable to track the gap between the local model parameter and the global model parameters. The key idea of FedDC is to utilize this learned local drift variable to bridge the gap, i.e., conducting consistency in parameter-level. The experiment results and analysis demonstrate that FedDC yields expediting convergence and better performance on various image classification tasks, robust in partial participation settings, non-iid data, and heterogeneous clients.

We introduce FedAF, a novel aggregation-free FL algorithm.

  Federated Learning (FL) is a machine learning paradigm that enables clients to jointly train a global model by aggregating the locally trained models without sharing any local training data. We propose a novel regularization technique based on adaptive self-distillation (ASD) for training models on the client side. Our regularization scheme adaptively adjusts to the client's training data based on the global model entropy and the client's label distribution.

• 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).
