Federated learning has become increasingly important for modern machine learning, especially for data privacy-sensitive scenarios. Existing federated learning mostly adopts the central server-based architecture or centralized architecture. However, in many social network scenarios, centralized federated learning is not applicable (e.g., a central agent or server connecting all users may not exist, or the communication cost to the central server is not affordable). In this paper, we consider a generic setting: 1) the central server may not exist, and 2) the social network is unidirectional or of single-sided trust (i.e., user A trusts user B but user B may not trust user A). We propose a central server free federated learning algorithm, named Online Push-Sum (OPS) method, to handle this challenging but generic scenario. A rigorous regret analysis is also provided, which shows very interesting results on how users can benefit from communication with trusted users in the federated learning scenario. This work builds upon the fundamental algorithm framework and theoretical guarantees for federated learning in the generic social network scenario.
Federated learning allows distributed devices to collectively train a model without sharing or disclosing the local dataset with a central server. The global model is optimized by training and averaging the model parameters of all local participants.
In federated learning (FL), reducing the communication overhead is one of the most critical challenges since the parameter server and the mobile devices share the training parameters over wireless links. With such consideration, we adopt the idea of
This paper formulates and studies a novel algorithm for federated learning from large collections of local datasets. This algorithm capitalizes on an intrinsic network structure that relates the local datasets via an undirected empirical graph. We mo
Federated learning (FL) was proposed to achieve collaborative machine learning among various clients without uploading private data. However, due to model aggregation strategies, existing frameworks require strict model homogeneity, limiting the appl
Social networks have become ubiquitous in our daily life, as such it has attracted great research interests recently. A key challenge is that it is of extremely large-scale with tremendous information flow, creating the phenomenon of Big Data. Under
