• Abstract: Widely available healthcare services are now getting popular because of advancements in wearable sensing techniques and mobile edge computing. People's health information is collected by edge devices such as smartphones and wearable bands for further analysis on servers, then send back suggestions and alerts for abnormal conditions. The recent emergence of federated learning allows users to train private data on local devices while updating models collaboratively. However, the heterogeneous distribution of the health condition data may lead to significant risks to model performance due to class imbalance. Meanwhile, as FL training is powered by sharing gradients only with the server, training data is almost inaccessible. The conventional solutions to class imbalance do not work for federated learning. In this work, we propose a new federated learning framework FedImT, dedicated to addressing the challenges of class imbalance in federated learning scenarios. FedImT contains an online scheme that can estimate the data composition during each round of aggregation, then introduces a self-attenuating iterative equivalent to track variations of multiple estimations and promptly tweak the balance of the loss computing for minority classes. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of FedImT in solving the imbalance problem without extra energy consumption and avoiding privacy risks.

  Federated Learning has a central server coordinating the training of a model on a network of devices. One of the challenges is variable training performance when the dataset has a class imbalance. We propose to address the class imbalance by reshaping cross-entropy loss such that it down-weights the loss assigned to well-classified examples along the lines of focal loss.
