A recent take towards Federated Analytics (FA), which allows analytical insights of distributed datasets, reuses the Federated Learning (FL) infrastructure to evaluate the summary of model performances across the training devices. However, the current realization of FL adopts single server-multiple client architecture with limited scope for FA, which often results in learning models with poor generalization, i.e., an ability to handle new/unseen data, for real-world applications. Moreover, a hierarchical FL structure with distributed computing platforms demonstrates incoherent model performances at different aggregation levels. Therefore, we need to design a robust learning mechanism than the FL that (i) unleashes a viable infrastructure for FA and (ii) trains learning models with better generalization capability. In this work, we adopt the novel democratized learning (Dem-AI) principles and designs to meet these objectives. Firstly, we show the hierarchical learning structure of the proposed edge-assisted democratized learning mechanism, namely Edge-DemLearn, as a practical framework to empower generalization capability in support of FA. Secondly, we validate Edge-DemLearn as a flexible model training mechanism to build a distributed control and aggregation methodology in regions by leveraging the distributed computing infrastructure. The distributed edge computing servers construct regional models, minimize the communication loads, and ensure distributed data analytic applications scalability. To that end, we adhere to a near-optimal two-sided many-to-one matching approach to handle the combinatorial constraints in Edge-DemLearn and solve it for fast knowledge acquisition with optimization of resource allocation and associations between multiple servers and devices. Extensive simulation results on real datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Emerging cross-device artificial intelligence (AI) applications require a transition from conventional centralized learning systems towards large-scale distributed AI systems that can collaboratively perform complex learning tasks. In this regard, de
mocratized learning (Dem-AI) (Minh et al. 2020) lays out a holistic philosophy with underlying principles for building large-scale distributed and democratized machine learning systems. The outlined principles are meant to provide a generalization of distributed learning that goes beyond existing mechanisms such as federated learning. Inspired from this philosophy, a novel distributed learning approach is proposed in this paper. The approach consists of a self-organizing hierarchical structuring mechanism based on agglomerative clustering, hierarchical generalization, and corresponding learning mechanism. Subsequently, a hierarchical generalized learning problem in a recursive form is formulated and shown to be approximately solved using the solutions of distributed personalized learning problems and hierarchical generalized averaging mechanism. To that end, a distributed learning algorithm, namely DemLearn and its variant, DemLearn-P is proposed. Extensive experiments on benchmark MNIST and Fashion-MNIST datasets show that proposed algorithms demonstrate better results in the generalization performance of learning model at agents compared to the conventional FL algorithms. Detailed analysis provides useful configurations to further tune up both the generalization and specialization performance of the learning models in Dem-AI systems.
Federated Learning allows remote centralized server training models without to access the data stored in distributed (edge) devices. Most work assume the data generated from edge devices is identically and independently sampled from a common populati
on distribution. However, such ideal sampling may not be realistic in many contexts where edge devices correspond to units in variable context. Also, models based on intrinsic agency, such as active sampling schemes, may lead to highly biased sampling. So an imminent question is how robust Federated Learning is to biased sampling? In this work, we investigate two such scenarios. First, we study Federated Learning of a classifier from data with edge device class distribution heterogeneity. Second, we study Federated Learning of a classifier with active sampling at the edge. We present evidence in both scenarios, that federated learning is robust to data heterogeneity.
As artificial intelligence (AI)-empowered applications become widespread, there is growing awareness and concern for user privacy and data confidentiality. This has contributed to the popularity of federated learning (FL). FL applications often face
data distribution and device capability heterogeneity across data owners. This has stimulated the rapid development of Personalized FL (PFL). In this paper, we complement existing surveys, which largely focus on the methods and applications of FL, with a review of recent advances in PFL. We discuss hurdles to PFL under the current FL settings, and present a unique taxonomy dividing PFL techniques into data-based and model-based approaches. We highlight their key ideas, and envision promising future trajectories of research towards new PFL architectural design, realistic PFL benchmarking, and trustworthy PFL approaches.
Federated learning enables machine learning algorithms to be trained over a network of multiple decentralized edge devices without requiring the exchange of local datasets. Successfully deploying federated learning requires ensuring that agents (e.g.
, mobile devices) faithfully execute the intended algorithm, which has been largely overlooked in the literature. In this study, we first use risk bounds to analyze how the key feature of federated learning, unbalanced and non-i.i.d. data, affects agents incentives to voluntarily participate and obediently follow traditional federated learning algorithms. To be more specific, our analysis reveals that agents with less typical data distributions and relatively more samples are more likely to opt out of or tamper with federated learning algorithms. To this end, we formulate the first faithful implementation problem of federated learning and design two faithful federated learning mechanisms which satisfy economic properties, scalability, and privacy. Further, the time complexity of computing all agents payments in the number of agents is $mathcal{O}(1)$. First, we design a Faithful Federated Learning (FFL) mechanism which approximates the Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) payments via an incremental computation. We show that it achieves (probably approximate) optimality, faithful implementation, voluntary participation, and some other economic properties (such as budget balance). Second, by partitioning agents into several subsets, we present a scalable VCG mechanism approximation. We further design a scalable and Differentially Private FFL (DP-FFL) mechanism, the first differentially private faithful mechanism, that maintains the economic properties. Our mechanism enables one to make three-way performance tradeoffs among privacy, the iterations needed, and payment accuracy loss.
In this paper, to effectively prevent information leakage, we propose a novel framework based on the concept of differential privacy (DP), in which artificial noises are added to the parameters at the clients side before aggregating, namely, noising
before model aggregation FL (NbAFL). First, we prove that the NbAFL can satisfy DP under distinct protection levels by properly adapting different variances of artificial noises. Then we develop a theoretical convergence bound of the loss function of the trained FL model in the NbAFL. Specifically, the theoretical bound reveals the following three key properties: 1) There is a tradeoff between the convergence performance and privacy protection levels, i.e., a better convergence performance leads to a lower protection level; 2) Given a fixed privacy protection level, increasing the number $N$ of overall clients participating in FL can improve the convergence performance; 3) There is an optimal number of maximum aggregation times (communication rounds) in terms of convergence performance for a given protection level. Furthermore, we propose a $K$-random scheduling strategy, where $K$ ($1<K<N$) clients are randomly selected from the $N$ overall clients to participate in each aggregation. We also develop the corresponding convergence bound of the loss function in this case and the $K$-random scheduling strategy can also retain the above three properties. Moreover, we find that there is an optimal $K$ that achieves the best convergence performance at a fixed privacy level. Evaluations demonstrate that our theoretical results are consistent with simulations, thereby facilitating the designs on various privacy-preserving FL algorithms with different tradeoff requirements on convergence performance and privacy levels.
