Federated learning (FL) has emerged as an effective technique to co-training machine learning models without actually sharing data and leaking privacy. However, most existing FL methods focus on the supervised setting and ignore the utilization of unlabeled data. Although there are a few existing studies trying to incorporate unlabeled data into FL, they all fail to maintain performance guarantees or generalization ability in various real-world settings. In this paper, we focus on designing a general framework FedSiam to tackle different scenarios of federated semi-supervised learning, including four settings in the labels-at-client scenario and two setting in the labels-at-server scenario. FedSiam is built upon a siamese network into FL with a momentum update to handle the non-IID challenges introduced by unlabeled data. We further propose a new metric to measure the divergence of local model layers within the siamese network. Based on the divergence, FedSiam can automatically select layer-level parameters to be uploaded to the server in an adaptive manner. Experimental results on three datasets under two scenarios with different data distribution settings demonstrate that the proposed FedSiam framework outperforms state-of-the-art baselines.

Training deep learning models on in-home IoT sensory data is commonly used to recognise human activities. Recently, federated learning systems that use edge devices as clients to support local human activity recognition have emerged as a new paradigm
to combine local (individual-level) and global (group-level) models. This approach provides better scalability and generalisability and also offers better privacy compared with the traditional centralised analysis and learning models. The assumption behind federated learning, however, relies on supervised learning on clients. This requires a large volume of labelled data, which is difficult to collect in uncontrolled IoT environments such as remote in-home monitoring. In this paper, we propose an activity recognition system that uses semi-supervised federated learning, wherein clients conduct unsupervised learning on autoencoders with unlabelled local data to learn general representations, and a cloud server conducts supervised learning on an activity classifier with labelled data. Our experimental results show that using a long short-term memory autoencoder and a Softmax classifier, the accuracy of our proposed system is higher than that of both centralised systems and semi-supervised federated learning using data augmentation. The accuracy is also comparable to that of supervised federated learning systems. Meanwhile, we demonstrate that our system can reduce the number of needed labels and the size of local models, and has faster local activity recognition speed than supervised federated learning does.
Federated Semi-Supervised Learning (FedSSL) has gained rising attention from both academic and industrial researchers, due to its unique characteristics of co-training machine learning models with isolated yet unlabeled data. Most existing FedSSL met
hods focus on the classical scenario, i.e, the labeled and unlabeled data are stored at the client side. However, in real world applications, client users may not provide labels without any incentive. Thus, the scenario of labels at the server side is more practical. Since unlabeled data and labeled data are decoupled, most existing FedSSL approaches may fail to deal with such a scenario. To overcome this problem, in this paper, we propose FedCon, which introduces a new learning paradigm, i.e., contractive learning, to FedSSL. Experimental results on three datasets show that FedCon achieves the best performance with the contractive framework compared with state-of-the-art baselines under both IID and Non-IID settings. Besides, ablation studies demonstrate the characteristics of the proposed FedCon framework.
Federated Learning allows training machine learning models by using the computation and private data resources of a large number of distributed clients such as smartphones and IoT devices. Most existing works on Federated Learning (FL) assume the cli
ents have ground-truth labels. However, in many practical scenarios, clients may be unable to label task-specific data, e.g., due to lack of expertise. In this work, we consider a server that hosts a labeled dataset, and wishes to leverage clients with unlabeled data for supervised learning. We propose a new Federated Learning framework referred to as SemiFL in order to address the problem of Semi-Supervised Federated Learning (SSFL). In SemiFL, clients have completely unlabeled data, while the server has a small amount of labeled data. SemiFL is communication efficient since it separates the training of server-side supervised data and client-side unsupervised data. We demonstrate various efficient strategies of SemiFL that enhance learning performance. Extensive empirical evaluations demonstrate that our communication efficient method can significantly improve the performance of a labeled server with unlabeled clients. Moreover, we demonstrate that SemiFL can outperform many existing FL results trained with fully supervised data, and perform competitively with the state-of-the-art centralized Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL) methods. For instance, in standard communication efficient scenarios, our method can perform 93% accuracy on the CIFAR10 dataset with only 4000 labeled samples at the server. Such accuracy is only 2% away from the result trained from 50000 fully labeled data, and it improves about 30% upon existing SSFL methods in the communication efficient setting.
Federated learning enables multiple clients, such as mobile phones and organizations, to collaboratively learn a shared model for prediction while protecting local data privacy. However, most recent research and applications of federated learning ass
ume that all clients have fully labeled data, which is impractical in real-world settings. In this work, we focus on a new scenario for cross-silo federated learning, where data samples of each client are partially labeled. We borrow ideas from semi-supervised learning methods where a large amount of unlabeled data is utilized to improve the models accuracy despite limited access to labeled examples. We propose a new framework dubbed SemiFed that unifies two dominant approaches for semi-supervised learning: consistency regularization and pseudo-labeling. SemiFed first applies advanced data augmentation techniques to enforce consistency regularization and then generates pseudo-labels using the models predictions during training. SemiFed takes advantage of the federation so that for a given image, the pseudo-label holds only if multiple models from different clients produce a high-confidence prediction and agree on the same label. Extensive experiments on two image benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach under both homogeneous and heterogeneous data distribution settings
Federated learning (FL) is a promising way to use the computing power of mobile devices while maintaining the privacy of users. Current work in FL, however, makes the unrealistic assumption that the users have ground-truth labels on their devices, wh
ile also assuming that the server has neither data nor labels. In this work, we consider the more realistic scenario where the users have only unlabeled data, while the server has some labeled data, and where the amount of labeled data is smaller than the amount of unlabeled data. We call this learning problem semi-supervised federated learning (SSFL). For SSFL, we demonstrate that a critical issue that affects the test accuracy is the large gradient diversity of the models from different users. Based on this, we investigate several design choices. First, we find that the so-called consistency regularization loss (CRL), which is widely used in semi-supervised learning, performs reasonably well but has large gradient diversity. Second, we find that Batch Normalization (BN) increases gradient diversity. Replacing BN with the recently-proposed Group Normalization (GN) can reduce gradient diversity and improve test accuracy. Third, we show that CRL combined with GN still has a large gradient diversity when the number of users is large. Based on these results, we propose a novel grouping-based model averaging method to replace the FedAvg averaging method. Overall, our grouping-based averaging, combined with GN and CRL, achieves better test accuracy than not just a contemporary paper on SSFL in the same settings (>10%), but also four supervised FL algorithms.
