• Abstract: Federated learning (FL) enables multiple clients to train models collaboratively without sharing local data, which has achieved promising results in different areas, including the Internet of Things (IoT). However, end IoT devices do not have abilities to automatically annotate their collected data, which leads to the label shortage issue at the client side. To collaboratively train an FL model, we can only use a small number of labeled data stored on the server. This is a new yet practical scenario in federated learning, i.e., labels-at-server semi-supervised federated learning (SemiFL). Although several SemiFL approaches have been proposed recently, none of them can focus on the personalization issue in their model design. IoT environments make SemiFL more challenging, as we need to take device computational constraints and communication cost into consideration simultaneously. To tackle these new challenges together, we propose a novel SemiFL framework named pFedKnow. pFedKnow generates lightweight personalized client models via neural network pruning techniques to reduce communication cost. Moreover, it incorporates pretrained large models as prior knowledge to guide the aggregation of personalized client models and further enhance the framework performance. Experiment results on both image and text datasets show that the proposed pFedKnow outperforms state-of-the-art baselines as well as reducing considerable communication cost. The source code of the proposed pFedKnow is available at https://github.com/JackqqWang/pfedknow/tree/master.

  Federated learning (FL) is a machine learning paradigm that targets model training without gathering the local data over various data sources. Standard FL, which employs a single server, can only support a limited number of users, leading to degraded learning capability. In this work, we consider a multi-server FL framework, referred to as emphConfederated Learning (CFL) in order to accommodate a larger number of users.

  Federated Learning is a promising approach for learning from user data while preserving data privacy. Split Federated Learning is utilized, where clients upload their intermediate model training outcomes to a cloud server for collaborative server-client model training. This methodology facilitates resource-constrained clients' participation in model training but also increases the training time and communication overhead. We propose a novel algorithm, called Hierarchical Split Federated Learning (HierSFL), that amalgamates models at the edge and cloud phases.

  Federated Learning (FL) has emerged to allow multiple clients to collaboratively train machine learning models on their private data at the network edge. We propose a novel Semi-supervised SFL system, termed SemiSFL, which incorporates clustering regularization to perform SFL with unlabeled and non-IID client data. Our system provides a 3.8x speed-up in training time, reduces the communication cost by about 70.3% while reaching the target accuracy, and achieves up to 5.8% improvement in accuracy under non-IID scenarios.

To demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of FedBasis, we also present a more practical PFL testbed for image classification.

  Federated learning (FL) and Split Learning (SL) are two frameworks that enable collaborative learning while keeping the data private (on device) In FL, each data holder trains a model locally and releases it to a central server for aggregation. In SL, the clients must release individual cut-layer activations (smashed data) to the server and wait for its response (during both inference and back propagation). In this work, we present a novel approach for privacy-preserving machine learning, where the clients collaborate via online knowledge distillation using a contrastive loss.

  Inference-Time PFL (IT-PFL) is where a model trained on a set of clients needs to be later evaluated on novel unlabeled clients at inference time. We propose a novel approach to this problem IT-PFL-HN, based on a hypernetwork module and an encoder module. We find that IT-PFL-HN generalizes better than current FL and PFL methods, especially when the novel client has a large domain shift.
