• Authors: Md-Ferdous Pervej, Andreas F. Molisch,
• Abstract summary: We propose a personalized hierarchical split federated learning (PHSFL) algorithm that is specially designed to achieve better personalization performance. We first perform extensive theoretical analysis to understand the impact of model splitting and hierarchical model aggregations on the global model. Once the global model is trained, we fine-tune each client to obtain the personalized models.

• Abstract: Extreme resource constraints make large-scale machine learning (ML) with distributed clients challenging in wireless networks. On the one hand, large-scale ML requires massive information exchange between clients and server(s). On the other hand, these clients have limited battery and computation powers that are often dedicated to operational computations. Split federated learning (SFL) is emerging as a potential solution to mitigate these challenges, by splitting the ML model into client-side and server-side model blocks, where only the client-side block is trained on the client device. However, practical applications require personalized models that are suitable for the client's personal task. Motivated by this, we propose a personalized hierarchical split federated learning (PHSFL) algorithm that is specially designed to achieve better personalization performance. More specially, owing to the fact that regardless of the severity of the statistical data distributions across the clients, many of the features have similar attributes, we only train the body part of the federated learning (FL) model while keeping the (randomly initialized) classifier frozen during the training phase. We first perform extensive theoretical analysis to understand the impact of model splitting and hierarchical model aggregations on the global model. Once the global model is trained, we fine-tune each client classifier to obtain the personalized models. Our empirical findings suggest that while the globally trained model with the untrained classifier performs quite similarly to other existing solutions, the fine-tuned models show significantly improved personalized performance.

  Federated learning (FL) is a distributed learning framework that leverages commonalities between distributed client datasets to train a global model. personalized federated learning (PFL) seeks to address this by learning individual models tailored to each client. We propose an algorithm, pFedFDA, that efficiently generates personalized models by adapting global generative classifiers to their local feature distributions.

  We train models organized in a multi-level structure, called Multi-level Additive Models (MAM)'', for better knowledge-sharing across heterogeneous clients. In federated MAM (FeMAM), each client is assigned to at most one model per level and its personalized prediction sums up the outputs of models assigned to it across all levels. Experiments show that FeMAM surpasses existing clustered FL and personalized FL methods in various non-IID settings.

  We propose a novel federated learning framework to learn only one robust global model to achieve competitive performance to those personalized models on unseen/test clients in the FL system. Specifically, we design a new Client-Supervised Federated Learning (FedCS) to unravel clients' bias on instances' latent representations so that the global model can learn both client-specific and client-agnostic knowledge.

  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.
