• Abstract: Vanilla federated learning does not support learning in an online environment, learning a personalized model on each client, and learning in a decentralized setting. There are existing methods extending federated learning in each of the three aspects. However, some important applications on enterprise edge servers (e.g. online item recommendation at global scale) involve the three aspects at the same time. Therefore, we propose a new learning setting \textit{Decentralized Personalized Online Federated Learning} that considers all the three aspects at the same time. In this new setting for learning, the first technical challenge is how to aggregate the shared model parameters from neighboring clients to obtain a personalized local model with good performance on each client. We propose to directly learn an aggregation by optimizing the performance of the local model with respect to the aggregation weights. This not only improves personalization of each local model but also helps the local model adapting to potential data shift by intelligently incorporating the right amount of information from its neighbors. The second challenge is how to select the neighbors for each client. We propose a peer selection method based on the learned aggregation weights enabling each client to select the most helpful neighbors and reduce communication cost at the same time. We verify the effectiveness and robustness of our proposed method on three real-world item recommendation datasets and one air quality prediction dataset.

  Federated learning allows clients to collaboratively learn statistical models while keeping their data local. Recent personalized federated learning methods train a separate model for each client while still leveraging the knowledge available at other clients. We show on a suite of federated datasets that this approach achieves significantly higher accuracy and fairness than state-of-the-art methods.

  Federated learning (FL) is a decentralized privacy-preserving learning technique in which clients learn a joint collaborative model through a central aggregator without sharing their data. In this setting, all clients learn a single common predictor (FedAvg), which does not generalize well on each client's local data due to the statistical data heterogeneity among clients. In this paper, we address this problem with PersFL, a two-stage personalized learning algorithm. In the first stage, PersFL finds the optimal teacher model of each client during the FL training phase. In the second stage, PersFL distills the useful knowledge from

  We propose an alternative to federated learning, where each client federates with other relevant clients to obtain a stronger model per client-specific objectives. We do not assume knowledge of underlying data distributions or client similarities, and allow each client to optimize for arbitrary target distributions of interest. Our method outperforms existing alternatives, while also enabling new features for personalized FL such as transfer outside of local data distributions.
