• Abstract summary: We design an explanation-guided federated learning (EGFL) scheme to ensure trustworthy predictions. Specifically, we predict per-slice RAN dropped traffic probability to exemplify the proposed concept. It has also improved the recall score with more than $25%$ relatively to unconstrained-EGFL.

• Abstract: Future zero-touch artificial intelligence (AI)-driven 6G network automation requires building trust in the AI black boxes via explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), where it is expected that AI faithfulness would be a quantifiable service-level agreement (SLA) metric along with telecommunications key performance indicators (KPIs). This entails exploiting the XAI outputs to generate transparent and unbiased deep neural networks (DNNs). Motivated by closed-loop (CL) automation and explanation-guided learning (EGL), we design an explanation-guided federated learning (EGFL) scheme to ensure trustworthy predictions by exploiting the model explanation emanating from XAI strategies during the training run time via Jensen-Shannon (JS) divergence. Specifically, we predict per-slice RAN dropped traffic probability to exemplify the proposed concept while respecting fairness goals formulated in terms of the recall metric which is included as a constraint in the optimization task. Finally, the comprehensiveness score is adopted to measure and validate the faithfulness of the explanations quantitatively. Simulation results show that the proposed EGFL-JS scheme has achieved more than $50\%$ increase in terms of comprehensiveness compared to different baselines from the literature, especially the variant EGFL-KL that is based on the Kullback-Leibler Divergence. It has also improved the recall score with more than $25\%$ relatively to unconstrained-EGFL.

  Split federated learning (SFL) is a compute-efficient paradigm in distributed machine learning (ML) A challenge in SFL, particularly when deployed over wireless channels, is the susceptibility of transmitted model parameters to adversarial jamming. This is particularly pronounced for word embedding parameters in large language models (LLMs), which are crucial for language understanding. A physical layer framework is developed for resilient SFL with LLMs (R-SFLLM) over wireless networks.
