• Title: Asynchronous Federated Learning with Bidirectional Quantized Communications and Buffered Aggregation
• Authors: Tomas Ortega, Hamid Jafarkhani
• Abstract summary: Asynchronous Federated Learning with Buffered Aggregation (FedBuff) is a state-of-the-art algorithm known for its efficiency and high scalability. We present a new algorithm (QAFeL) with a quantization scheme that establishes a shared "hidden" state between the server and clients to avoid the error propagation caused by direct quantization.

• Abstract: Asynchronous Federated Learning with Buffered Aggregation (FedBuff) is a state-of-the-art algorithm known for its efficiency and high scalability. However, it has a high communication cost, which has not been examined with quantized communications. To tackle this problem, we present a new algorithm (QAFeL), with a quantization scheme that establishes a shared "hidden" state between the server and clients to avoid the error propagation caused by direct quantization. This approach allows for high precision while significantly reducing the data transmitted during client-server interactions. We provide theoretical convergence guarantees for QAFeL and corroborate our analysis with experiments on a standard benchmark.

DFedCata consists of two main components: the Moreau envelope function, which addresses parameter inconsistencies, and Nesterov's extrapolation step, which accelerates the aggregation phase. Empirically, we demonstrate the advantages of the proposed algorithm in both convergence speed and generalization performance on CIFAR10/100 with various non-iid data distributions.

• Asynchronous Federated Stochastic Optimization for Heterogeneous Objectives Under Arbitrary Delays [0.0]
  Federated learning (FL) was recently proposed to securely train models with data held over multiple locations ("clients") Two major challenges hindering the performance of FL algorithms are long training times caused by straggling clients, and a decline in model accuracy under non-iid local data distributions ("client drift") We propose and analyze Asynchronous Exact Averaging (AREA), a new (sub)gradient algorithm that utilizes communication to speed up convergence and enhance scalability, and employs client memory to correct the client drift caused by variations in client update frequencies.
