• Abstract: Decentralized machine learning - where each client keeps its own data locally and uses its own computational resources to collaboratively train a model by exchanging peer-to-peer messages - is increasingly popular, as it enables better scalability and control over the data. A major challenge in this setting is that learning dynamics depend on the topology of the communication graph, which motivates the use of real graph datasets for benchmarking decentralized algorithms. Unfortunately, existing graph datasets are largely limited to for-profit social networks crawled at a fixed point in time and often collected at the user scale, where links are heavily influenced by the platform and its recommendation algorithms. The Fediverse, which includes several free and open-source decentralized social media platforms such as Mastodon, Misskey, and Lemmy, offers an interesting real-world alternative. We introduce Fedivertex, a new dataset of 182 graphs, covering seven social networks from the Fediverse, crawled weekly over 14 weeks. We release the dataset along with a Python package to facilitate its use, and illustrate its utility on several tasks, including a new defederation task, which captures a process of link deletion observed on these networks.

  Federated learning is an emerging paradigm for decentralized training of machine learning models on distributed clients. We propose a graph convolutional neural network to capture feature-sharing information while learning features from a subset of clients. We also develop a simple but effective clustering algorithm that aggregates features produced by the deep neural networks of each client while preserving data privacy.

  We propose a graph-based personalized algorithm (GATTA) for distributed deep learning. In particular, the personalized model in each agent is composed of a global part and a node-specific part. By treating each agent as one node in a graph the node-specific parameters as its features, the benefits of the graph attention mechanism can be inherited.

  We propose a novel federated learning framework and algorithm for learning a shared data representation across clients and unique local heads for each client. Our algorithm harnesses the distributed computational power across clients to perform many local-updates with respect to the low-dimensional local parameters for every update of the representation. This result is of interest beyond federated learning to a broad class of problems in which we aim to learn a shared low-dimensional representation among data distributions.
