Federated learning has made an important contribution to data privacy-preserving. Many previous works are based on the assumption that the data are independently identically distributed (IID). As a result, the model performance on non-identically independently distributed (non-IID) data is beyond expectation, which is the concrete situation. Some existing methods of ensuring the model robustness on non-IID data, like the data-sharing strategy or pretraining, may lead to privacy leaking. In addition, there exist some participants who try to poison the model with low-quality data. In this paper, a performance-based parameter return method for optimization is introduced, we term it FederatedSmart (FedSmart). It optimizes different model for each client through sharing global gradients, and it extracts the data from each client as a local validation set, and the accuracy that model achieves in round t determines the weights of the next round. The experiment results show that FedSmart enables the participants to allocate a greater weight to the ones with similar data distribution.

Federated learning (FL) aims to train machine learning models in the decentralized system consisting of an enormous amount of smart edge devices. Federated averaging (FedAvg), the fundamental algorithm in FL settings, proposes on-device training and model aggregation to avoid the potential heavy communication costs and privacy concerns brought by transmitting raw data. However, through theoretical analysis we argue that 1) the multiple steps of local updating will result in gradient biases and 2) there is an inconsistency between the expected target distribution and the optimization objectives following the training paradigm in FedAvg. To tackle these problems, we first propose an unbiased gradient aggregation algorithm with the keep-trace gradient descent and the gradient evaluation strategy. Then we introduce an additional controllable meta updating procedure with a small set of data samples, indicating the expected target distribution, to provide a clear and consistent optimization objective. Both the two improvements are model- and task-agnostic and can be applied individually or together. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methods are faster in convergence and achieve higher accuracy with different network architectures in various FL settings.
Federated learning allows multiple participants to collaboratively train an efficient model without exposing data privacy. However, this distributed machine learning training method is prone to attacks from Byzantine clients, which interfere with the training of the global model by modifying the model or uploading the false gradient. In this paper, we propose a novel serverless federated learning framework Committee Mechanism based Federated Learning (CMFL), which can ensure the robustness of the algorithm with convergence guarantee. In CMFL, a committee system is set up to screen the uploaded local gradients. The committee system selects the local gradients rated by the elected members for the aggregation procedure through the selection strategy, and replaces the committee member through the election strategy. Based on the different considerations of model performance and defense, two opposite selection strategies are designed for the sake of both accuracy and robustness. Extensive experiments illustrate that CMFL achieves faster convergence and better accuracy than the typical Federated Learning, in the meanwhile obtaining better robustness than the traditional Byzantine-tolerant algorithms, in the manner of a decentralized approach. In addition, we theoretically analyze and prove the convergence of CMFL under different election and selection strategies, which coincides with the experimental results.
Federated learning (FL) is a machine learning setting where many clients (e.g. mobile devices or whole organizations) collaboratively train a model under the orchestration of a central server (e.g. service provider), while keeping the training data decentralized. FL embodies the principles of focused data collection and minimization, and can mitigate many of the systemic privacy risks and costs resulting from traditional, centralized machine learning and data science approaches. Motivated by the explosive growth in FL research, this paper discusses recent advances and presents an extensive collection of open problems and challenges.
Federated Learning (FL) is a distributed machine learning paradigm where data is distributed among clients who collaboratively train a model in a computation process coordinated by a central server. By assigning a weight to each client based on the proportion of data instances it possesses, the rate of convergence to an accurate joint model can be greatly accelerated. Some previous works studied FL in a Byzantine setting, in which a fraction of the clients may send arbitrary or even malicious information regarding their model. However, these works either ignore the issue of data unbalancedness altogether or assume that client weights are apriori known to the server, whereas, in practice, it is likely that weights will be reported to the server by the clients themselves and therefore cannot be relied upon. We address this issue for the first time by proposing a practical weight-truncation-based preprocessing method and demonstrating empirically that it is able to strike a good balance between model quality and Byzantine robustness. We also establish analytically that our method can be applied to a randomly selected sample of client weights.
Federated Learning (FL) is an approach to conduct machine learning without centralizing training data in a single place, for reasons of privacy, confidentiality or data volume. However, solving federated machine learning problems raises issues above and beyond those of centralized machine learning. These issues include setting up communication infrastructure between parties, coordinating the learning process, integrating party results, understanding the characteristics of the training data sets of different participating parties, handling data heterogeneity, and operating with the absence of a verification data set. IBM Federated Learning provides infrastructure and coordination for federated learning. Data scientists can design and run federated learning jobs based on existing, centralized machine learning models and can provide high-level instructions on how to run the federation. The framework applies to both Deep Neural Networks as well as ``traditional approaches for the most common machine learning libraries. {proj} enables data scientists to expand their scope from centralized to federated machine learning, minimizing the learning curve at the outset while also providing the flexibility to deploy to different compute environments and design custom fusion algorithms.
