Federated learning is a new machine learning paradigm which allows data parties to build machine learning models collaboratively while keeping their data secure and private. While research efforts on federated learning have been growing tremendously in the past two years, most existing works still depend on pre-existing public datasets and artificial partitions to simulate data federations due to the lack of high-quality labeled data generated from real-world edge applications. Consequently, advances on benchmark and model evaluations for federated learning have been lagging behind. In this paper, we introduce a real-world image dataset. The dataset contains more than 900 images generated from 26 street cameras and 7 object categories annotated with detailed bounding box. The data distribution is non-IID and unbalanced, reflecting the characteristic real-world federated learning scenarios. Based on this dataset, we implemented two mainstream object detection algorithms (YOLO and Faster R-CNN) and provided an extensive benchmark on model performance, efficiency, and communication in a federated learning setting. Both the dataset and algorithms are made publicly available.

Unsupervised image-to-image translation methods such as CycleGAN learn to convert images from one domain to another using unpaired training data sets from different domains. Unfortunately, these approaches still require centrally collected unpaired r ecords, potentially violating privacy and security issues. Although the recent federated learning (FL) allows a neural network to be trained without data exchange, the basic assumption of the FL is that all clients have their own training data from a similar domain, which is different from our image-to-image translation scenario in which each client has images from its unique domain and the goal is to learn image translation between different domains without accessing the target domain data. To address this, here we propose a novel federated CycleGAN architecture that can learn image translation in an unsupervised manner while maintaining the data privacy. Specifically, our approach arises from a novel observation that CycleGAN loss can be decomposed into the sum of client specific local objectives that can be evaluated using only their data. This local objective decomposition allows multiple clients to participate in federated CycleGAN training without sacrificing performance. Furthermore, our method employs novel switchable generator and discriminator architecture using Adaptive Instance Normalization (AdaIN) that significantly reduces the band-width requirement of the federated learning. Our experimental results on various unsupervised image translation tasks show that our federated CycleGAN provides comparable performance compared to the non-federated counterpart.
Real-world blind denoising poses a unique image restoration challenge due to the non-deterministic nature of the underlying noise distribution. Prevalent discriminative networks trained on synthetic noise models have been shown to generalize poorly t o real-world noisy images. While curating real-world noisy images and improving ground truth estimation procedures remain key points of interest, a potential research direction is to explore extensions to the widely used convolutional neuron model to enable better generalization with fewer data and lower network complexity, as opposed to simply using deeper Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Operational Neural Networks (ONNs) and their recent variant, Self-organized ONNs (Self-ONNs), propose to embed enhanced non-linearity into the neuron model and have been shown to outperform CNNs across a variety of regression tasks. However, all such comparisons have been made for compact networks and the efficacy of deploying operational layers as a drop-in replacement for convolutional layers in contemporary deep architectures remains to be seen. In this work, we tackle the real-world blind image denoising problem by employing, for the first time, a deep Self-ONN. Extensive quantitative and qualitative evaluations spanning multiple metrics and four high-resolution real-world noisy image datasets against the state-of-the-art deep CNN network, DnCNN, reveal that deep Self-ONNs consistently achieve superior results with performance gains of up to 1.76dB in PSNR. Furthermore, Self-ONNs with half and even quarter the number of layers that require only a fraction of computational resources as that of DnCNN can still achieve similar or better results compared to the state-of-the-art.
We introduce a new large-scale dataset that links the assessment of image quality issues to two practical vision tasks: image captioning and visual question answering. First, we identify for 39,181 images taken by people who are blind whether each is sufficient quality to recognize the content as well as what quality flaws are observed from six options. These labels serve as a critical foundation for us to make the following contributions: (1) a new problem and algorithms for deciding whether an image is insufficient quality to recognize the content and so not captionable, (2) a new problem and algorithms for deciding which of six quality flaws an image contains, (3) a new problem and algorithms for deciding whether a visual question is unanswerable due to unrecognizable content versus the content of interest being missing from the field of view, and (4) a novel application of more efficiently creating a large-scale image captioning dataset by automatically deciding whether an image is insufficient quality and so should not be captioned. We publicly-share our datasets and code to facilitate future extensions of this work: https://vizwiz.org.
Federated learning enables mutually distrusting participants to collaboratively learn a distributed machine learning model without revealing anything but the models output. Generic federated learning has been studied extensively, and several learning protocols, as well as open-source frameworks, have been developed. Yet, their over pursuit of computing efficiency and fast implementation might diminish the security and privacy guarantees of participants training data, about which little is known thus far. In this paper, we consider an honest-but-curious adversary who participants in training a distributed ML model, does not deviate from the defined learning protocol, but attempts to infer private training data from the legitimately received information. In this setting, we design and implement two practical attacks, reverse sum attack and reverse multiplication attack, neither of which will affect the accuracy of the learned model. By empirically studying the privacy leakage of two learning protocols, we show that our attacks are (1) effective - the adversary successfully steal the private training data, even when the intermediate outputs are encrypted to protect data privacy; (2) evasive - the adversarys malicious behavior does not deviate from the protocol specification and deteriorate any accuracy of the target model; and (3) easy - the adversary needs little prior knowledge about the data distribution of the target participant. We also experimentally show that the leaked information is as effective as the raw training data through training an alternative classifier on the leaked information. We further discuss potential countermeasures and their challenges, which we hope may lead to several promising research directions.
Building robust deep learning-based models requires large quantities of diverse training data. In this study, we investigate the use of federated learning (FL) to build medical imaging classification models in a real-world collaborative setting. Seve n clinical institutions from across the world joined this FL effort to train a model for breast density classification based on Breast Imaging, Reporting & Data System (BI-RADS). We show that despite substantial differences among the datasets from all sites (mammography system, class distribution, and data set size) and without centralizing data, we can successfully train AI models in federation. The results show that models trained using FL perform 6.3% on average better than their counterparts trained on an institutes local data alone. Furthermore, we show a 45.8% relative improvement in the models generalizability when evaluated on the other participating sites testing data.
