• Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) is an emerging framework for distributed processing of large data volumes by edge devices subject to limited communication bandwidths, heterogeneity in data distributions and computational resources, as well as privacy considerations. In this paper, we introduce a new FL protocol termed FedADMM based on primal-dual optimization. The proposed method leverages dual variables to tackle statistical heterogeneity, and accommodates system heterogeneity by tolerating variable amount of work performed by clients. FedADMM maintains identical communication costs per round as FedAvg/Prox, and generalizes them via the augmented Lagrangian. A convergence proof is established for nonconvex objectives, under no restrictions in terms of data dissimilarity or number of participants per round of the algorithm. We demonstrate the merits through extensive experiments on real datasets, under both IID and non-IID data distributions across clients. FedADMM consistently outperforms all baseline methods in terms of communication efficiency, with the number of rounds needed to reach a prescribed accuracy reduced by up to 87%. The algorithm effectively adapts to heterogeneous data distributions through the use of dual variables, without the need for hyperparameter tuning, and its advantages are more pronounced in large-scale systems.

  Federated Edge Learning (FEEL) emerges as a pioneering distributed machine learning paradigm for the 6G Hyper-Connectivity. Current FEEL algorithms struggle with non-independent and non-identically distributed (non-IID) data, leading to elevated communication costs and compromised model accuracy. We introduce a clustered data sharing framework, mitigating data heterogeneity by selectively sharing partial data from cluster heads to trusted associates. Experiments show that the proposed framework facilitates FEEL on non-IID datasets with faster convergence rate and higher model accuracy in a limited communication environment.

  Big data, including applications with high security requirements, are often collected and stored on multiple heterogeneous devices, such as mobile devices, drones and vehicles. Due to the limitations of communication costs and security requirements, it is of paramount importance to extract information in a decentralized manner instead of aggregating data to a fusion center. We consider the problem of learning model parameters in a multi-agent system with data locally processed via distributed edge nodes. A class of mini-batch alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithms is explored to develop the distributed learning model.
