• Abstract summary: In this work, we consider transferring mid-level semantic knowledge (such as attribute) which is not sensitive to specific objects of interest. We formulate a new Federated Zero-Shot Learning (FZSL) paradigm to learn mid-level semantic knowledge at multiple local clients. To improve model discriminative ability, we propose to explore semantic knowledge augmentation from external knowledge.

• Abstract: Conventional centralised deep learning paradigms are not feasible when data from different sources cannot be shared due to data privacy or transmission limitation. To resolve this problem, federated learning has been introduced to transfer knowledge across multiple sources (clients) with non-shared data while optimising a globally generalised central model (server). Existing federated learning paradigms mostly focus on transferring holistic high-level knowledge (such as class) across models, which are closely related to specific objects of interest so may suffer from inverse attack. In contrast, in this work, we consider transferring mid-level semantic knowledge (such as attribute) which is not sensitive to specific objects of interest and therefore is more privacy-preserving and scalable. To this end, we formulate a new Federated Zero-Shot Learning (FZSL) paradigm to learn mid-level semantic knowledge at multiple local clients with non-shared local data and cumulatively aggregate a globally generalised central model for deployment. To improve model discriminative ability, we propose to explore semantic knowledge augmentation from external knowledge for enriching the mid-level semantic space in FZSL. Extensive experiments on five zeroshot learning benchmark datasets validate the effectiveness of our approach for optimising a generalisable federated learning model with mid-level semantic knowledge transfer.

  This paper presents a novel approach that enhances federated learning through a cross-training scheme incorporating multi-view information. Specifically, the proposed method, termed FedCT, includes three main modules, where the consistency-aware knowledge broadcasting module aims to optimize model assignment strategies. The multi-view knowledge-guided representation learning module leverages fused knowledge from both global and local views to enhance the preservation of local knowledge before and after model exchange. The mixup-based feature augmentation module aggregates rich information to further increase the diversity of feature spaces, which enables the model to better discriminate complex samples.

  Data heterogeneity is one of the most challenging issues in federated learning. One such approach in deep neural networks based tasks is employing a shared feature representation and learning a customized classifier head for each client. In this work, we conduct explicit local-global feature alignment by leveraging global semantic knowledge for learning a better representation.

  We propose a federated active learning paradigm to efficiently learn a global model with limited annotation budget. The main challenge faced by federated active learning is the mismatch between the active sampling goal of the global model on the server and that of the local clients. We propose Knowledge-Aware Federated Active Learning (KAFAL), which consists of Knowledge-Specialized Active Sampling (KSAS) and Knowledge-Compensatory Federated Update (KCFU)

We prove that FedFoA is a model-agnostic training framework and can be easily compatible with state-of-the-art unsupervised FL methods.

  Existing federated learning paradigms usually extensively exchange distributed models at a central solver to achieve a more powerful model. This would incur severe communication burden between a server and multiple clients especially when data distributions are heterogeneous. Unlike existing paradigms, we introduce an alternative perspective to significantly decrease the communication cost in federate learning.

  Federated learning allows clients to collaboratively learn statistical models while keeping their data local. Recent personalized federated learning methods train a separate model for each client while still leveraging the knowledge available at other clients. We show on a suite of federated datasets that this approach achieves significantly higher accuracy and fairness than state-of-the-art methods.

• Decentralised Person Re-Identification with Selective Knowledge Aggregation [56.40855978874077]
  Existing person re-identification (Re-ID) methods mostly follow a centralised learning paradigm which shares all training data to a collection for model learning. Two recent works have introduced decentralised (federated) Re-ID learning for constructing a globally generalised model (server) However, these methods are poor on how to adapt the generalised model to maximise its performance on individual client domain Re-ID tasks. We present a new Selective Knowledge Aggregation approach to decentralised person Re-ID to optimise the trade-off between model personalisation and generalisation.

Our algorithm harnesses the distributed computational power across clients to perform many local-updates with respect to the low-dimensional local parameters for every update of the representation. This result is of interest beyond federated learning to a broad class of problems in which we aim to learn a shared low-dimensional representation among data distributions.
