• Title: Over-the-Air Federated Multi-Task Learning via Model Sparsification and Turbo Compressed Sensing
• Abstract summary: We propose an over-the-air FMTL framework, where multiple learning tasks deployed on edge devices share a non-orthogonal fading channel under the coordination of an edge server. In OA-FMTL, the local updates of edge devices are sparsified, compressed, and then sent over the uplink channel in a superimposed fashion. We analyze the performance of the proposed OA-FMTL framework together with the M-Turbo-CS algorithm.

• Abstract: To achieve communication-efficient federated multitask learning (FMTL), we propose an over-the-air FMTL (OAFMTL) framework, where multiple learning tasks deployed on edge devices share a non-orthogonal fading channel under the coordination of an edge server (ES). In OA-FMTL, the local updates of edge devices are sparsified, compressed, and then sent over the uplink channel in a superimposed fashion. The ES employs over-the-air computation in the presence of intertask interference. More specifically, the model aggregations of all the tasks are reconstructed from the channel observations concurrently, based on a modified version of the turbo compressed sensing (Turbo-CS) algorithm (named as M-Turbo-CS). We analyze the performance of the proposed OA-FMTL framework together with the M-Turbo-CS algorithm. Furthermore, based on the analysis, we formulate a communication-learning optimization problem to improve the system performance by adjusting the power allocation among the tasks at the edge devices. Numerical simulations show that our proposed OAFMTL effectively suppresses the inter-task interference, and achieves a learning performance comparable to its counterpart with orthogonal multi-task transmission. It is also shown that the proposed inter-task power allocation optimization algorithm substantially reduces the overall communication overhead by appropriately adjusting the power allocation among the tasks.
