• Authors: Yanci Zhang and Han Yu
• Abstract summary: We propose the Logical Reasoning-based eXplainable Federated Learning (LR-XFL) approach. Under LR-XFL, FL clients create local logic rules based on their local data and send them, along with model updates, to the FL server. The results show that LR-XFL outperforms the most relevant baseline by 1.19%, 5.81% and 5.41% in terms of classification accuracy, rule accuracy and rule fidelity.

• Abstract: Federated learning (FL) is an emerging approach for training machine learning models collaboratively while preserving data privacy. The need for privacy protection makes it difficult for FL models to achieve global transparency and explainability. To address this limitation, we incorporate logic-based explanations into FL by proposing the Logical Reasoning-based eXplainable Federated Learning (LR-XFL) approach. Under LR-XFL, FL clients create local logic rules based on their local data and send them, along with model updates, to the FL server. The FL server connects the local logic rules through a proper logical connector that is derived based on properties of client data, without requiring access to the raw data. In addition, the server also aggregates the local model updates with weight values determined by the quality of the clients' local data as reflected by their uploaded logic rules. The results show that LR-XFL outperforms the most relevant baseline by 1.19%, 5.81% and 5.41% in terms of classification accuracy, rule accuracy and rule fidelity, respectively. The explicit rule evaluation and expression under LR-XFL enable human experts to validate and correct the rules on the server side, hence improving the global FL model's robustness to errors. It has the potential to enhance the transparency of FL models for areas like healthcare and finance where both data privacy and explainability are important.

  Federated learning (FL) is a commonly distributed algorithm for mobile users (MUs) training artificial intelligence (AI) models. We propose an explainable personalized FL framework, called XPFL. Particularly, in local training, we utilize a generative AI (GAI) model to learn from large unlabeled data. In global aggregation, we obtain the new local local model by fusing the local and global FL models in specific proportions. Finally, simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed XPFL framework.

  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.

• Convergence Time Optimization for Federated Learning over Wireless Networks [160.82696473996566]
  A wireless network is considered in which wireless users transmit their local FL models (trained using their locally collected data) to a base station (BS) The BS, acting as a central controller, generates a global FL model using the received local FL models and broadcasts it back to all users. Due to the limited number of resource blocks (RBs) in a wireless network, only a subset of users can be selected to transmit their local FL model parameters to the BS. Since each user has unique training data samples, the BS prefers to include all local user FL models to generate a converged global FL model.
