• Abstract: Federated learning (FL) with noisy labels poses a significant challenge. Existing methods designed for handling noisy labels in centralized learning tend to lose their effectiveness in the FL setting, mainly due to the small dataset size and the heterogeneity of client data. While some attempts have been made to tackle FL with noisy labels, they primarily focused on scenarios involving class-conditional noise. In this paper, we study the more challenging and practical issue of instance-dependent noise (IDN) in FL. We introduce a novel algorithm called FedBeat (Federated Learning with Bayesian Ensemble-Assisted Transition Matrix Estimation). FedBeat aims to build a global statistically consistent classifier using the IDN transition matrix (IDNTM), which encompasses three synergistic steps: (1) A federated data extraction step that constructs a weak global model and extracts high-confidence data using a Bayesian model ensemble method. (2) A federated transition matrix estimation step in which clients collaboratively train an IDNTM estimation network based on the extracted data. (3) A federated classifier correction step that enhances the global model's performance by training it using a loss function tailored for noisy labels, leveraging the IDNTM. Experiments conducted on CIFAR-10 and SVHN verify that the proposed method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

  Federated learning (FL) has emerged as a prominent method for collaboratively training machine learning models using local data from edge devices. We focus on addressing the problem of noisy data in the input space, an under-explored area compared to the label noise. We propose a noise-aware FL aggregation method, namely Federated Noise-Sifting (FedNS), which can be used as a plug-in approach in conjunction with widely used FL strategies.

  Federated learning (FL) is a distributed learning paradigm that facilitates collaborative training of a shared global model across devices. We propose FedAnchor, an innovative FSSL method that introduces a unique double-head structure, called anchor head, paired with the classification head trained exclusively on labeled anchor data on the server. Our approach mitigates the confirmation bias and overfitting issues associated with pseudo-labeling techniques based on high-confidence model prediction samples.

  Federated learning (FL) aims at training a global model on the server side while the training data are collected and located at the local devices. Local training on noisy labels can easily result in overfitting to noisy labels, which is devastating to the global model through aggregation. We develop a simple two-level sampling method "FedNoiL" that selects clients for more robust global aggregation on the server.
