• Abstract: Adaptive optimization has achieved notable success for distributed learning while extending adaptive optimizer to federated Learning (FL) suffers from severe inefficiency, including (i) rugged convergence due to inaccurate gradient estimation in global adaptive optimizer; (ii) client drifts exacerbated by local over-fitting with the local adaptive optimizer. In this work, we propose a novel momentum-based algorithm via utilizing the global gradient descent and locally adaptive amended optimizer to tackle these difficulties. Specifically, we incorporate a locally amended technique to the adaptive optimizer, named Federated Local ADaptive Amended optimizer (\textit{FedLADA}), which estimates the global average offset in the previous communication round and corrects the local offset through a momentum-like term to further improve the empirical training speed and mitigate the heterogeneous over-fitting. Theoretically, we establish the convergence rate of \textit{FedLADA} with a linear speedup property on the non-convex case under the partial participation settings. Moreover, we conduct extensive experiments on the real-world dataset to demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed \textit{FedLADA}, which could greatly reduce the communication rounds and achieves higher accuracy than several baselines.

  In federated learning (FL), a cluster of local clients are chaired under the coordination of a global server. Clients are prone to overfit into their own optima, which extremely deviates from the global objective. ttfamily FedSMOO adopts a dynamic regularizer to guarantee the local optima towards the global objective. Our theoretical analysis indicates that ttfamily FedSMOO achieves fast $mathcalO (1/T)$ convergence rate with low bound generalization.

• Accelerating Federated Learning with a Global Biased Optimiser [16.69005478209394]
  Federated Learning (FL) is a recent development in the field of machine learning that collaboratively trains models without the training data leaving client devices. We propose a novel, generalised approach for applying adaptive optimisation techniques to FL with the Federated Global Biased Optimiser (FedGBO) algorithm. FedGBO accelerates FL by applying a set of global biased optimiser values during the local training phase of FL, which helps to reduce client-drift' from non-IID data.

We propose correction techniques to overcome this inconsistency and complement the local adaptive methods for FL.
