• Abstract summary: We propose a debiasing federated learning framework based on domain-independent, which mitigates model bias by explicitly encoding sensitive attributes during client-side training. This paper conducts experiments on three real datasets and uses five evaluation metrics of accuracy and fairness to quantify the effect of the model.

• Abstract: As digital transformation continues, enterprises are generating, managing, and storing vast amounts of data, while artificial intelligence technology is rapidly advancing. However, it brings challenges in information security and data security. Data security refers to the protection of digital information from unauthorized access, damage, theft, etc. throughout its entire life cycle. With the promulgation and implementation of data security laws and the emphasis on data security and data privacy by organizations and users, Privacy-preserving technology represented by federated learning has a wide range of application scenarios. Federated learning is a distributed machine learning computing framework that allows multiple subjects to train joint models without sharing data to protect data privacy and solve the problem of data islands. However, the data among multiple subjects are independent of each other, and the data differences in quality may cause fairness issues in federated learning modeling, such as data bias among multiple subjects, resulting in biased and discriminatory models. Therefore, we propose DBFed, a debiasing federated learning framework based on domain-independent, which mitigates model bias by explicitly encoding sensitive attributes during client-side training. This paper conducts experiments on three real datasets and uses five evaluation metrics of accuracy and fairness to quantify the effect of the model. Most metrics of DBFed exceed those of the other three comparative methods, fully demonstrating the debiasing effect of DBFed.

  Federated instruction tuning (FedIT) is a promising solution, by consolidating collaborative training across multiple data owners. FedIT encounters limitations such as scarcity of instructional data and risk of exposure to training data extraction attacks. We propose FewFedPIT, designed to simultaneously enhance privacy protection and model performance of federated few-shot learning.

  The report demonstrates the benefits of harnessing the value of Federated Learning (FL) to learn a single model across multiple insurance industry datasets. FL addresses two of the most pressing concerns: limited data volume and data variety, which are caused by privacy concerns. During each round of FL, collaborators compute improvements on the model using their local private data, and these insights are combined to update a global model.
