Federated learning (FL) collaboratively aggregates a shared global model depending on multiple local clients, while keeping the training data decentralized in order to preserve data privacy. However, standard FL methods ignore the noisy client issue, which may harm the overall performance of the aggregated model. In this paper, we first analyze the noisy client statement, and then model noisy clients with different noise distributions (e.g., Bernoulli and truncated Gaussian distributions). To learn with noisy clients, we propose a simple yet effective FL framework, named Federated Noisy Client Learning (Fed-NCL), which is a plug-and-play algorithm and contains two main components: a data quality measurement (DQM) to dynamically quantify the data quality of each participating client, and a noise robust aggregation (NRA) to adaptively aggregate the local models of each client by jointly considering the amount of local training data and the data quality of each client. Our Fed-NCL can be easily applied in any standard FL workflow to handle the noisy client issue. Experimental results on various datasets demonstrate that our algorithm boosts the performances of different state-of-the-art systems with noisy clients.

Client contribution evaluation, also known as data valuation, is a crucial approach in federated learning(FL) for client selection and incentive allocation. However, due to restrictions of accessibility of raw data, only limited information such as l ocal weights and local data size of each client is open for quantifying the client contribution. Using data size from available information, we introduce an empirical evaluation method called Federated Client Contribution Evaluation through Accuracy Approximation(FedCCEA). This method builds the Accuracy Approximation Model(AAM), which estimates a simulated test accuracy using inputs of sampled data size and extracts the clients data quality and data size to measure client contribution. FedCCEA strengthens some advantages: (1) enablement of data size selection to the clients, (2) feasible evaluation time regardless of the number of clients, and (3) precise estimation in non-IID settings. We demonstrate the superiority of FedCCEA compared to previous methods through several experiments: client contribution distribution, client removal, and robustness test to partial participation.

Federated Learning is a distributed machine learning approach which enables model training without data sharing. In this paper, we propose a new federated learning algorithm, Federated Averaging with Client-level Momentum (FedCM), to tackle problems of partial participation and client heterogeneity in real-world federated learning applications. FedCM aggregates global gradient information in previous communication rounds and modifies client gradient descent with a momentum-like term, which can effectively correct the bias and improve the stability of local SGD. We provide theoretical analysis to highlight the benefits of FedCM. We also perform extensive empirical studies and demonstrate that FedCM achieves superior performance in various tasks and is robust to different levels of client numbers, participation rate and client heterogeneity.
Since data is presented long-tailed in reality, it is challenging for Federated Learning (FL) to train across decentralized clients as practical applications. We present Global-Regularized Personalization (GRP-FED) to tackle the data imbalanced issue by considering a single global model and multiple local models for each client. With adaptive aggregation, the global model treats multiple clients fairly and mitigates the global long-tailed issue. Each local model is learned from the local data and aligns with its distribution for customization. To prevent the local model from just overfitting, GRP-FED applies an adversarial discriminator to regularize between the learned global-local features. Extensive results show that our GRP-FED improves under both global and local scenarios on real-world MIT-BIH and synthesis CIFAR-10 datasets, achieving comparable performance and addressing client imbalance.

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 p roportion 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.
In federated learning (FL), fair and accurate measurement of the contribution of each federated participant is of great significance. The level of contribution not only provides a rational metric for distributing financial benefits among federated pa rticipants, but also helps to discover malicious participants that try to poison the FL framework. Previous methods for contribution measurement were based on enumeration over possible combination of federated participants. Their computation costs increase drastically with the number of participants or feature dimensions, making them inapplicable in practical situations. In this paper an efficient method is proposed to evaluate the contributions of federated participants. This paper focuses on the horizontal FL framework, where client servers calculate parameter gradients over their local data, and upload the gradients to the central server. Before aggregating the client gradients, the central server train a data value estimator of the gradients using reinforcement learning techniques. As shown by experimental results, the proposed method consistently outperforms the conventional leave-one-out method in terms of valuation authenticity as well as time complexity.
