• Abstract: The uneven distribution of local data across different edge devices (clients) results in slow model training and accuracy reduction in federated learning. Naive federated learning (FL) strategy and most alternative solutions attempted to achieve more fairness by weighted aggregating deep learning models across clients. This work introduces a novel non-IID type encountered in real-world datasets, namely cluster-skew, in which groups of clients have local data with similar distributions, causing the global model to converge to an over-fitted solution. To deal with non-IID data, particularly the cluster-skewed data, we propose FedDRL, a novel FL model that employs deep reinforcement learning to adaptively determine each client's impact factor (which will be used as the weights in the aggregation process). Extensive experiments on a suite of federated datasets confirm that the proposed FedDRL improves favorably against FedAvg and FedProx methods, e.g., up to 4.05% and 2.17% on average for the CIFAR-100 dataset, respectively.

  Federated learning (FL) is an emerging distributed machine learning paradigm. One of the major challenges in FL is the presence of uneven data distributions across client devices. We propose em FedClust, a novel approach for CFL that leverages the correlation between local model weights and the data distribution of clients.

  Federated Learning (FL) relies on the effectiveness of utilizing knowledge from distributed datasets. Traditional FL methods adopt an aggregate-then-adapt framework, where clients update local models based on a global model aggregated by the server from the previous training round. We introduce FedAF, a novel aggregation-free FL algorithm.

  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.

  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.

  Federated learning (FL) allows multiple clients to collectively train a high-performance global model without sharing their private data. 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. Experiment results and analysis demonstrate that FedDC yields expediting convergence and better performance on various image classification tasks.

• 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).
