• Abstract: Learning from data silos is a difficult task for organizations that need to obtain knowledge of objects that appeared in multiple independent data silos. Objects in multi-organizations, such as government agents, are referred by different identifiers, such as driver license, passport number, and tax file number. The data distributions in data silos are mostly non-IID (Independently and Identically Distributed), labelless, and vertically partitioned (i.e., having different attributes). Privacy concerns harden the above issues. Conditions inhibit enthusiasm for collaborative work. While Federated Learning (FL) has been proposed to address these issues, the difficulty of labeling, namely, label costliness, often hinders optimal model performance. A potential solution lies in contrastive learning, an unsupervised self-learning technique to represent semantic data by contrasting similar data pairs. However, contrastive learning is currently not designed to handle tabular data silos that existed within multiple organizations where data linkage by quasi identifiers are needed. To address these challenges, we propose using semi-supervised contrastive federated learning, which we refer to as Contrastive Federated Learning with Data Silos (CFL). Our approach tackles the aforementioned issues with an integrated solution. Our experimental results demonstrate that CFL outperforms current methods in addressing these challenges and providing improvements in accuracy. Additionally, we present positive results that showcase the advantages of our contrastive federated learning approach in complex client environments.

  Data privacy and class imbalance are the norm rather than the exception in many machine learning tasks. Recent attempts have been launched to, on one side, address the problem of learning from pervasive private data, and on the other side, learn from long-tailed data. This paper focuses on learning with long-tailed (LT) data distributions under the context of the popular privacy-preserved federated learning (FL) framework.

  Federated Learning is a novel framework that allows multiple devices or institutions to train a machine learning model collaboratively while preserving their data private. In this work, we formally classify data statistical heterogeneity and review the most remarkable learning strategies that are able to face it. At the same time, we introduce approaches from other machine learning frameworks, such as Continual Learning, that also deal with data heterogeneity and could be easily adapted to the Federated Learning settings.

We find that non-IID does bring significant challenges in learning accuracy of FL algorithms, and none of the existing state-of-the-art FL algorithms outperforms others in all cases.
