Federated learning is a distributed optimization paradigm that enables a large number of resource-limited client nodes to cooperatively train a model without data sharing. Several works have analyzed the convergence of federated learning by accounting of data heterogeneity, communication and computation limitations, and partial client participation. However, they assume unbiased client participation, where clients are selected at random or in proportion of their data sizes. In this paper, we present the first convergence analysis of federated optimization for biased client selection strategies, and quantify how the selection bias affects convergence speed. We reveal that biasing client selection towards clients with higher local loss achieves faster error convergence. Using this insight, we propose Power-of-Choice, a communication- and computation-efficient client selection framework that can flexibly span the trade-off between convergence speed and solution bias. Our experiments demonstrate that Power-of-Choice strategies converge up to 3 $times$ faster and give $10$% higher test accuracy than the baseline random selection.

Federated Learning (FL), arising as a novel secure learning paradigm, has received notable attention from the public. In each round of synchronous FL training, only a fraction of available clients are chosen to participate and the selection decision
might have a significant effect on the training efficiency, as well as the final model performance. In this paper, we investigate the client selection problem under a volatile context, in which the local training of heterogeneous clients is likely to fail due to various kinds of reasons and in different levels of frequency. Intuitively, too much training failure might potentially reduce the training efficiency, while too much selection on clients with greater stability might introduce bias, and thereby result in degradation of the training effectiveness. To tackle this tradeoff, we in this paper formulate the client selection problem under joint consideration of effective participation and fairness. Further, we propose E3CS, a stochastic client selection scheme on the basis of an adversarial bandit solution, and we further corroborate its effectiveness by conducting real data-based experiments. According to the experimental results, our proposed selection scheme is able to achieve up to 2x faster convergence to a fixed model accuracy while maintaining the same level of final model accuracy, in comparison to the vanilla selection scheme in FL.
The issue of potential privacy leakage during centralized AIs model training has drawn intensive concern from the public. A Parallel and Distributed Computing (or PDC) scheme, termed Federated Learning (FL), has emerged as a new paradigm to cope with
the privacy issue by allowing clients to perform model training locally, without the necessity to upload their personal sensitive data. In FL, the number of clients could be sufficiently large, but the bandwidth available for model distribution and re-upload is quite limited, making it sensible to only involve part of the volunteers to participate in the training process. The client selection policy is critical to an FL process in terms of training efficiency, the final models quality as well as fairness. In this paper, we will model the fairness guaranteed client selection as a Lyapunov optimization problem and then a C2MAB-based method is proposed for estimation of the model exchange time between each client and the server, based on which we design a fairness guaranteed algorithm termed RBCS-F for problem-solving. The regret of RBCS-F is strictly bounded by a finite constant, justifying its theoretical feasibility. Barring the theoretical results, more empirical data can be derived from our real training experiments on public datasets.
Federated learning (FL) is a distributed machine learning paradigm that allows clients to collaboratively train a model over their own local data. FL promises the privacy of clients and its security can be strengthened by cryptographic methods such a
s additively homomorphic encryption (HE). However, the efficiency of FL could seriously suffer from the statistical heterogeneity in both the data distribution discrepancy among clients and the global distribution skewness. We mathematically demonstrate the cause of performance degradation in FL and examine the performance of FL over various datasets. To tackle the statistical heterogeneity problem, we propose a pluggable system-level client selection method named Dubhe, which allows clients to proactively participate in training, meanwhile preserving their privacy with the assistance of HE. Experimental results show that Dubhe is comparable with the optimal greedy method on the classification accuracy, with negligible encryption and communication overhead.
The federated learning (FL) framework trains a machine learning model using decentralized data stored at edge client devices by periodically aggregating locally trained models. Popular optimization algorithms of FL use vanilla (stochastic) gradient d
escent for both local updates at clients and global updates at the aggregating server. Recently, adaptive optimization methods such as AdaGrad have been studied for server updates. However, the effect of using adaptive optimization methods for local updates at clients is not yet understood. We show in both theory and practice that while local adaptive methods can accelerate convergence, they can cause a non-vanishing solution bias, where the final converged solution may be different from the stationary point of the global objective function. We propose correction techniques to overcome this inconsistency and complement the local adaptive methods for FL. Extensive experiments on realistic federated training tasks show that the proposed algorithms can achieve faster convergence and higher test accuracy than the baselines without local adaptivity.
Although the challenge of the device connection is much relieved in 5G networks, the training latency is still an obstacle preventing Federated Learning (FL) from being largely adopted. One of the most fundamental problems that lead to large latency
is the bad candidate-selection for FL. In the dynamic environment, the mobile devices selected by the existing reactive candidate-selection algorithms very possibly fail to complete the training and reporting phases of FL, because the FL parameter server only knows the currently-observed resources of all candidates. To this end, we study the proactive candidate-selection for FL in this paper. We first let each candidate device predict the qualities of both its training and reporting phases locally using LSTM. Then, the proposed candidateselection algorithm is implemented by the Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) framework. Finally, the real-world trace-driven experiments prove that the proposed approach outperforms the existing reactive algorithms
