• Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) Analytics often involves applying machine learning (ML) models on data streams. In such scenarios, traditional ML paradigms face obstacles related to continuous learning while dealing with concept drifts, temporal dependence, and avoiding forgetting. Moreover, in IoT, different edge devices build up a network. When learning models on those devices, connecting them could be useful in improving performance and reusing others' knowledge. This work proposes Mutual Assisted Learning, a learning paradigm grounded on Vygotsky's popular Sociocultural Theory of Cognitive Development. Each device is autonomous and does not need a central orchestrator. Whenever it degrades its performance due to a concept drift, it asks for assistance from others and decides whether their knowledge is useful for solving the new problem. This way, the number of connections is drastically reduced compared to the classical Federated Learning approaches, where the devices communicate at each training round. Every device is equipped with a Continuous Progressive Neural Network (cPNN) to handle the dynamic nature of data streams. We call this implementation Mutual Assisted cPNN (MAcPNN). To implement it, we allow cPNNs for single data point predictions and apply quantization to reduce the memory footprint. Experimental results prove the effectiveness of MAcPNN in boosting performance on synthetic and real data streams.

  Split learning is a privacy-preserving distributed learning paradigm in which an ML model is split into two parts (i.e., an encoder and a decoder) In mobile-edge computing, network functions can be trained via split learning where an encoder resides in a user equipment (UE) and a decoder resides in the edge network. We present a new framework and training mechanism to enable a dynamic balancing of the transmission resource consumption with the informativeness of the shared latent representations.

  Federated learning (FL) and Split Learning (SL) are two frameworks that enable collaborative learning while keeping the data private (on device) In FL, each data holder trains a model locally and releases it to a central server for aggregation. In SL, the clients must release individual cut-layer activations (smashed data) to the server and wait for its response (during both inference and back propagation). In this work, we present a novel approach for privacy-preserving machine learning, where the clients collaborate via online knowledge distillation using a contrastive loss.
