As technology scaling is approaching the physical limit, lithography hotspot detection has become an essential task in design for manufacturability. While the deployment of pattern matching or machine learning in hotspot detection can help save significant simulation time, such methods typically demand for non-trivial quality data to build the model, which most design houses are short of. Moreover, the design houses are also unwilling to directly share such data with the other houses to build a unified model, which can be ineffective for the design house with unique design patterns due to data insufficiency. On the other hand, with data homogeneity in each design house, the locally trained models can be easily over-fitted, losing generalization ability and robustness. In this paper, we propose a heterogeneous federated learning framework for lithography hotspot detection that can address the aforementioned issues. On one hand, the framework can build a more robust centralized global sub-model through heterogeneous knowledge sharing while keeping local data private. On the other hand, the global sub-model can be combined with a local sub-model to better adapt to local data heterogeneity. The experimental results show that the proposed framework can overcome the challenge of non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) data and heterogeneous communication to achieve very high performance in comparison to other state-of-the-art methods while guaranteeing a good convergence rate in various scenarios.

Federated learning learns from scattered data by fusing collaborative models from local nodes. However, due to chaotic information distribution, the model fusion may suffer from structural misalignment with regard to unmatched parameters. In this work, we propose a novel federated learning framework to resolve this issue by establishing a firm structure-information alignment across collaborative models. Specifically, we design a feature-oriented regulation method ({$Psi$-Net}) to ensure explicit feature information allocation in different neural network structures. Applying this regulating method to collaborative models, matchable structures with similar feature information can be initialized at the very early training stage. During the federated learning process under either IID or non-IID scenarios, dedicated collaboration schemes further guarantee ordered information distribution with definite structure matching, so as the comprehensive model alignment. Eventually, this framework effectively enhances the federated learning applicability to extensive heterogeneous settings, while providing excellent convergence speed, accuracy, and computation/communication efficiency.
Federated learning enables multiple clients to collaboratively learn a global model by periodically aggregating the clients models without transferring the local data. However, due to the heterogeneity of the system and data, many approaches suffer from the client-drift issue that could significantly slow down the convergence of the global model training. As clients perform local updates on heterogeneous data through heterogeneous systems, their local models drift apart. To tackle this issue, one intuitive idea is to guide the local model training by the global teachers, i.e., past global models, where each client learns the global knowledge from past global models via adaptive knowledge distillation techniques. Coming from these insights, we propose a novel approach for heterogeneous federated learning, namely FedGKD, which fuses the knowledge from historical global models for local training to alleviate the client-drift issue. In this paper, we evaluate FedGKD with extensive experiments on various CV/NLP datasets (i.e., CIFAR-10/100, Tiny-ImageNet, AG News, SST5) and different heterogeneous settings. The proposed method is guaranteed to converge under common assumptions, and achieves superior empirical accuracy in fewer communication runs than five state-of-the-art methods.
Federated learning involves training machine learning models over devices or data silos, such as edge processors or data warehouses, while keeping the data local. Training in heterogeneous and potentially massive networks introduces bias into the system, which is originated from the non-IID data and the low participation rate in reality. In this paper, we propose Elastic Federated Learning (EFL), an unbiased algorithm to tackle the heterogeneity in the system, which makes the most informative parameters less volatile during training, and utilizes the incomplete local updates. It is an efficient and effective algorithm that compresses both upstream and downstream communications. Theoretically, the algorithm has convergence guarantee when training on the non-IID data at the low participation rate. Empirical experiments corroborate the competitive performance of EFL framework on the robustness and the efficiency.
With continued feature size scaling, even state of the art semiconductor manufacturing processes will often run into layouts with poor printability and yield. Identifying lithography hotspots is important at both physical verification and early physical design stages. While detailed lithography simulations can be very accurate, they may be too computationally expensive for full-chip scale and physical design inner loops. Meanwhile, pattern matching and machine learning based hotspot detection methods can provide acceptable quality and yet fast turn-around-time for full-chip scale physical verification and design. In this paper, we discuss some key issues and recent results on lithography hotspot detection and mitigation in nanometer VLSI.
Internet of Things (IoT) devices are becoming increasingly popular and are influencing many application domains such as healthcare and transportation. These devices are used for real-world applications such as sensor monitoring, real-time control. In this work, we look at differentially private (DP) neural network (NN) based network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) to detect intrusion attacks on networks of such IoT devices. Existing NN training solutions in this domain either ignore privacy considerations or assume that the privacy requirements are homogeneous across all users. We show that the performance of existing differentially private stochastic methods degrade for clients with non-identical data distributions when clients privacy requirements are heterogeneous. We define a cohort-based $(epsilon,delta)$-DP framework that models the more practical setting of IoT device cohorts with non-identical clients and heterogeneous privacy requirements. We propose two novel continual-learning based DP training methods that are designed to improve model performance in the aforementioned setting. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first system that employs a continual learning-based approach to handle heterogeneity in client privacy requirements. We evaluate our approach on real datasets and show that our techniques outperform the baselines. We also show that our methods are robust to hyperparameter changes. Lastly, we show that one of our proposed methods can easily adapt to post-hoc relaxations of client privacy requirements.
