• Abstract: Federated learning is a distributed learning framework where clients collaboratively train a global model without sharing their raw data. FedAvg is a popular algorithm for federated learning, but it often suffers from slow convergence due to the heterogeneity of local datasets and anisotropy in the parameter space. In this work, we formalize the central server optimization procedure through the lens of mirror descent and propose a novel framework, called FedDuA, which adaptively selects the global learning rate based on both inter-client and coordinate-wise heterogeneity in the local updates. We prove that our proposed doubly adaptive step-size rule is minimax optimal and provide a convergence analysis for convex objectives. Although the proposed method does not require additional communication or computational cost on clients, extensive numerical experiments show that our proposed framework outperforms baselines in various settings and is robust to the choice of hyperparameters.

  We introduce algorithms for automated scaling of global model updates. In first algorithm, we establish that a descent-ensuring step-size regime at the clients ensures descent for the server objective. Second algorithm shows that the average of objective values of sampled clients is a practical and effective substitute for the value server required for computing the scaling factor.

• Federated Learning with Projected Trajectory Regularization [65.6266768678291]
  Federated learning enables joint training of machine learning models from distributed clients without sharing their local data. One key challenge in federated learning is to handle non-identically distributed data across the clients. We propose a novel federated learning framework with projected trajectory regularization (FedPTR) for tackling the data issue.

  Federated learning (FL) is a distributed learning paradigm that enables multiple clients to learn a powerful global model by aggregating local training. In this paper, we present a novel FL algorithm, i.e., FedIns, to handle intra-client data heterogeneity by enabling instance-adaptive inference in the FL framework. Our experiments show that our FedIns outperforms state-of-the-art FL algorithms, e.g., a 6.64% improvement against the top-performing method with less than 15% communication cost on Tiny-ImageNet.
