• Abstract: Federated learning aims to learn a global model collaboratively while the training data belongs to different clients and is not allowed to be exchanged. However, the statistical heterogeneity challenge on non-IID data, such as class imbalance in classification, will cause client drift and significantly reduce the performance of the global model. This paper proposes a simple and effective approach named FedShift which adds the shift on the classifier output during the local training phase to alleviate the negative impact of class imbalance. We theoretically prove that the classifier shift in FedShift can make the local optimum consistent with the global optimum and ensure the convergence of the algorithm. Moreover, our experiments indicate that FedShift significantly outperforms the other state-of-the-art federated learning approaches on various datasets regarding accuracy and communication efficiency.

  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.

  Spiking federated learning allows resource-constrained devices to train collaboratively at low power consumption without exchanging local data. Existing spiking federated learning methods employ a random selection approach for client aggregation, assuming unbiased client participation. We propose a credit assignment-based active client selection strategy, the SFedCA, to judiciously aggregate clients that contribute to the global sample distribution balance.

We propose a new algorithm, named FedCSD, a Class prototype Similarity Distillation in a federated framework to align the local and global models.

  Federated Learning (FL) has become a popular distributed learning paradigm that involves multiple clients training a global model collaboratively. The data samples usually follow a long-tailed distribution in the real world, and FL on the decentralized and long-tailed data yields a poorly-behaved global model. In this work, we integrate the local real data with the global gradient prototypes to form the local balanced datasets.

  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).
