• Abstract: Federated learning provides a privacy guarantee for generating good deep learning models on distributed clients with different kinds of data. Nevertheless, dealing with non-IID data is one of the most challenging problems for federated learning. Researchers have proposed a variety of methods to eliminate the negative influence of non-IIDness. However, they only focus on the non-IID data provided that the universal class distribution is balanced. In many real-world applications, the universal class distribution is long-tailed, which causes the model seriously biased. Therefore, this paper studies the joint problem of non-IID and long-tailed data in federated learning and proposes a corresponding solution called Federated Ensemble Distillation with Imbalance Calibration (FEDIC). To deal with non-IID data, FEDIC uses model ensemble to take advantage of the diversity of models trained on non-IID data. Then, a new distillation method with logit adjustment and calibration gating network is proposed to solve the long-tail problem effectively. We evaluate FEDIC on CIFAR-10-LT, CIFAR-100-LT, and ImageNet-LT with a highly non-IID experimental setting, in comparison with the state-of-the-art methods of federated learning and long-tail learning.

  Federated learning offers a paradigm to the challenge of preserving privacy in distributed machine learning. Traditional approach fails to address the phenomenon of class-wise bias in global long-tailed data. New method FedLF introduces three modifications in the local training phase: adaptive logit adjustment, continuous class centred optimization, and feature decorrelation.

  Data privacy and class imbalance are the norm rather than the exception in many machine learning tasks. Recent attempts have been launched to, on one side, address the problem of learning from pervasive private data, and on the other side, learn from long-tailed data. This paper focuses on learning with long-tailed (LT) data distributions under the context of the popular privacy-preserved federated learning (FL) framework.

  Federated Learning is a novel framework that allows multiple devices or institutions to train a machine learning model collaboratively while preserving their data private. In this work, we formally classify data statistical heterogeneity and review the most remarkable learning strategies that are able to face it. At the same time, we introduce approaches from other machine learning frameworks, such as Continual Learning, that also deal with data heterogeneity and could be easily adapted to the Federated Learning settings.
