Federated learning (FL) is an emerging practical framework for effective and scalable machine learning among multiple participants, such as end users, organizations and companies. However, most existing FL or distributed learning frameworks have not well addressed two important issues together: collaborative fairness and adversarial robustness (e.g. free-riders and malicious participants). In conventional FL, all participants receive the global model (equal rewards), which might be unfair to the high-contributing participants. Furthermore, due to the lack of a safeguard mechanism, free-riders or malicious adversaries could game the system to access the global model for free or to sabotage it. In this paper, we propose a novel Robust and Fair Federated Learning (RFFL) framework to achieve collaborative fairness and adversarial robustness simultaneously via a reputation mechanism. RFFL maintains a reputation for each participant by examining their contributions via their uploaded gradients (using vector similarity) and thus identifies non-contributing or malicious participants to be removed. Our approach differentiates itself by not requiring any auxiliary/validation dataset. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets show that RFFL can achieve high fairness and is very robust to different types of adversaries while achieving competitive predictive accuracy.

Gradient-based meta-learning has proven to be highly effective at learning model initializations, representations, and update rules that allow fast adaptation from a few samples. The core idea behind these approaches is to use fast adaptation and gen
eralization -- two second-order metrics -- as training signals on a meta-training dataset. However, little attention has been given to other possible second-order metrics. In this paper, we investigate a different training signal -- robustness to catastrophic interference -- and demonstrate that representations learned by directing minimizing interference are more conducive to incremental learning than those learned by just maximizing fast adaptation.
The Lottery Ticket Hypothesis is a conjecture that every large neural network contains a subnetwork that, when trained in isolation, achieves comparable performance to the large network. An even stronger conjecture has been proven recently: Every suf
ficiently overparameterized network contains a subnetwork that, at random initialization, but without training, achieves comparable accuracy to the trained large network. This latter result, however, relies on a number of strong assumptions and guarantees a polynomial factor on the size of the large network compared to the target function. In this work, we remove the most limiting assumptions of this previous work while providing significantly tighter bounds:the overparameterized network only needs a logarithmic factor (in all variables but depth) number of neurons per weight of the target subnetwork.
We provide a construction for categorical representation learning and introduce the foundations of $textit{categorifier}$. The central theme in representation learning is the idea of $textbf{everything to vector}$. Every object in a dataset $mathcal{
S}$ can be represented as a vector in $mathbb{R}^n$ by an $textit{encoding map}$ $E: mathcal{O}bj(mathcal{S})tomathbb{R}^n$. More importantly, every morphism can be represented as a matrix $E: mathcal{H}om(mathcal{S})tomathbb{R}^{n}_{n}$. The encoding map $E$ is generally modeled by a $textit{deep neural network}$. The goal of representation learning is to design appropriate tasks on the dataset to train the encoding map (assuming that an encoding is optimal if it universally optimizes the performance on various tasks). However, the latter is still a $textit{set-theoretic}$ approach. The goal of the current article is to promote the representation learning to a new level via a $textit{category-theoretic}$ approach. As a proof of concept, we provide an example of a text translator equipped with our technology, showing that our categorical learning model outperforms the current deep learning models by 17 times. The content of the current article is part of the recent US patent proposal (patent application number: 63110906).
In current deep learning paradigms, local training or the Standalone framework tends to result in overfitting and thus poor generalizability. This problem can be addressed by Distributed or Federated Learning (FL) that leverages a parameter server to
aggregate model updates from individual participants. However, most existing Distributed or FL frameworks have overlooked an important aspect of participation: collaborative fairness. In particular, all participants can receive the same or similar models, regardless of their contributions. To address this issue, we investigate the collaborative fairness in FL, and propose a novel Collaborative Fair Federated Learning (CFFL) framework which utilizes reputation to enforce participants to converge to different models, thus achieving fairness without compromising the predictive performance. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that CFFL achieves high fairness, delivers comparable accuracy to the Distributed framework, and outperforms the Standalone framework.
The lottery ticket hypothesis (Frankle and Carbin, 2018), states that a randomly-initialized network contains a small subnetwork such that, when trained in isolation, can compete with the performance of the original network. We prove an even stronger
hypothesis (as was also conjectured in Ramanujan et al., 2019), showing that for every bounded distribution and every target network with bounded weights, a sufficiently over-parameterized neural network with random weights contains a subnetwork with roughly the same accuracy as the target network, without any further training.
