Federated Learning has shown great potentials for the distributed data utilization and privacy protection. Most existing federated learning approaches focus on the supervised setting, which means all the data stored in each client has labels. However, in real-world applications, the client data are impossible to be fully labeled. Thus, how to exploit the unlabeled data should be a new challenge for federated learning. Although a few studies are attempting to overcome this challenge, they may suffer from information leakage or misleading information usage problems. To tackle these issues, in this paper, we propose a novel federated semi-supervised learning method named FedTriNet, which consists of two learning phases. In the first phase, we pre-train FedTriNet using labeled data with FedAvg. In the second phase, we aim to make most of the unlabeled data to help model learning. In particular, we propose to use three networks and a dynamic quality control mechanism to generate high-quality pseudo labels for unlabeled data, which are added to the training set. Finally, FedTriNet uses the new training set to retrain the model. Experimental results on three publicly available datasets show that the proposed FedTriNet outperforms state-of-the-art baselines under both IID and Non-IID settings.

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
In this paper we revisit the idea of pseudo-labeling in the context of semi-supervised learning where a learning algorithm has access to a small set of labeled samples and a large set of unlabeled samples. Pseudo-labeling works by applying pseudo-lab els to samples in the unlabeled set by using a model trained on the combination of the labeled samples and any previously pseudo-labeled samples, and iteratively repeating this process in a self-training cycle. Current methods seem to have abandoned this approach in favor of consistency regularization methods that train models under a combination of different styles of self-supervised losses on the unlabeled samples and standard supervised losses on the labeled samples. We empirically demonstrate that pseudo-labeling can in fact be competitive with the state-of-the-art, while being more resilient to out-of-distribution samples in the unlabeled set. We identify two key factors that allow pseudo-labeling to achieve such remarkable results (1) applying curriculum learning principles and (2) avoiding concept drift by restarting model parameters before each self-training cycle. We obtain 94.91% accuracy on CIFAR-10 using only 4,000 labeled samples, and 68.87% top-1 accuracy on Imagenet-ILSVRC using only 10% of the labeled samples.

We present a multiview pseudo-labeling approach to video learning, a novel framework that uses complementary views in the form of appearance and motion information for semi-supervised learning in video. The complementary views help obtain more reliab le pseudo-labels on unlabeled video, to learn stronger video representations than from purely supervised data. Though our method capitalizes on multiple views, it nonetheless trains a model that is shared across appearance and motion input and thus, by design, incurs no additional computation overhead at inference time. On multiple video recognition datasets, our method substantially outperforms its supervised counterpart, and compares favorably to previous work on standard benchmarks in self-supervised video representation learning.
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.
