Federated Learning (FL) has shown great potential as a privacy-preserving solution to learning from decentralized data that are only accessible to end devices (i.e., clients). In many scenarios however, a large proportion of the clients are probably in possession of low-quality data that are biased, noisy or even irrelevant. As a result, they could significantly slow down the convergence of the global model we aim to build and also compromise its quality. In light of this, we propose FedProf, a novel algorithm for optimizing FL under such circumstances without breaching data privacy. The key of our approach is a data representation profiling and matching scheme that uses the global model to dynamically profile data representations and allows for low-cost, lightweight representation matching. Based on the scheme we adaptively score each client and adjust its participation probability so as to mitigate the impact of low-value clients on the training process. We have conducted extensive experiments on public datasets using various FL settings. The results show that FedProf effectively reduces the number of communication rounds and overall time (up to 4.5x speedup) for the global model to converge and provides accuracy gain.

Personalization methods in federated learning aim to balance the benefits of federated and local training for data availability, communication cost, and robustness to client heterogeneity. Approaches that require clients to communicate all model para
meters can be undesirable due to privacy and communication constraints. Other approaches require always-available or stateful clients, impractical in large-scale cross-device settings. We introduce Federated Reconstruction, the first model-agnostic framework for partially local federated learning suitable for training and inference at scale. We motivate the framework via a connection to model-agnostic meta learning, empirically demonstrate its performance over existing approaches for collaborative filtering and next word prediction, and release an open-source library for evaluating approaches in this setting. We also describe the successful deployment of this approach at scale for federated collaborative filtering in a mobile keyboard application.
In this paper, a Federated Learning (FL) simulation platform is introduced. The target scenario is Acoustic Model training based on this platform. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to apply FL techniques to Speech Recognition tasks due to t
he inherent complexity. The proposed FL platform can support different tasks based on the adopted modular design. As part of the platform, a novel hierarchical optimization scheme and two gradient aggregation methods are proposed, leading to almost an order of magnitude improvement in training convergence speed compared to other distributed or FL training algorithms like BMUF and FedAvg. The hierarchical optimization offers additional flexibility in the training pipeline besides the enhanced convergence speed. On top of the hierarchical optimization, a dynamic gradient aggregation algorithm is proposed, based on a data-driven weight inference. This aggregation algorithm acts as a regularizer of the gradient quality. Finally, an unsupervised training pipeline tailored to FL is presented as a separate training scenario. The experimental validation of the proposed system is based on two tasks: first, the LibriSpeech task showing a speed-up of 7x and 6% Word Error Rate reduction (WERR) compared to the baseline results. The second task is based on session adaptation providing an improvement of 20% WERR over a competitive production-ready LAS model. The proposed Federated Learning system is shown to outperform the golden standard of distributed training in both convergence speed and overall model performance.
Present-day federated learning (FL) systems deployed over edge networks have to consistently deal with a large number of workers with high degrees of heterogeneity in data and/or computing capabilities. This diverse set of workers necessitates the de
velopment of FL algorithms that allow: (1) flexible worker participation that grants the workers capability to engage in training at will, (2) varying number of local updates (based on computational resources) at each worker along with asynchronous communication with the server, and (3) heterogeneous data across workers. To address these challenges, in this work, we propose a new paradigm in FL called ``Anarchic Federated Learning (AFL). In stark contrast to conventional FL models, each worker in AFL has complete freedom to choose i) when to participate in FL, and ii) the number of local steps to perform in each round based on its current situation (e.g., battery level, communication channels, privacy concerns). However, AFL also introduces significant challenges in algorithmic design because the server needs to handle the chaotic worker behaviors. Toward this end, we propose two Anarchic FedAvg-like algorithms with two-sided learning rates for both cross-device and cross-silo settings, which are named AFedAvg-TSLR-CD and AFedAvg-TSLR-CS, respectively. For general worker information arrival processes, we show that both algorithms retain the highly desirable linear speedup effect in the new AFL paradigm. Moreover, we show that our AFedAvg-TSLR algorithmic framework can be viewed as a {em meta-algorithm} for AFL in the sense that they can utilize advanced FL algorithms as worker- and/or server-side optimizers to achieve enhanced performance under AFL. We validate the proposed algorithms with extensive experiments on real-world datasets.
While federated learning traditionally aims to train a single global model across decentralized local datasets, one model may not always be ideal for all participating clients. Here we propose an alternative, where each client only federates with oth
er relevant clients to obtain a stronger model per client-specific objectives. To achieve this personalization, rather than computing a single model average with constant weights for the entire federation as in traditional FL, we efficiently calculate optimal weighted model combinations for each client, based on figuring out how much a client can benefit from anothers model. We do not assume knowledge of any underlying data distributions or client similarities, and allow each client to optimize for arbitrary target distributions of interest, enabling greater flexibility for personalization. We evaluate and characterize our method on a variety of federated settings, datasets, and degrees of local data heterogeneity. Our method outperforms existing alternatives, while also enabling new features for personalized FL such as transfer outside of local data distributions.
Petabytes of data are generated each day by emerging Internet of Things (IoT), but only few of them can be finally collected and used for Machine Learning (ML) purposes due to the apprehension of data & privacy leakage, which seriously retarding MLs
growth. To alleviate this problem, Federated learning is proposed to perform model training by multiple clients combined data without the dataset sharing within the cluster. Nevertheless, federated learning introduces massive communication overhead as the synchronized data in each epoch is of the same size as the model, and thereby leading to a low communication efficiency. Consequently, variant methods mainly focusing on the communication rounds reduction and data compression are proposed to reduce the communication overhead of federated learning. In this paper, we propose Overlap-FedAvg, a framework that parallels the model training phase with model uploading & downloading phase, so that the latter phase can be totally covered by the former phase. Compared to vanilla FedAvg, Overlap-FedAvg is further developed with a hierarchical computing strategy, a data compensation mechanism and a nesterov accelerated gradients~(NAG) algorithm. Besides, Overlap-FedAvg is orthogonal to many other compression methods so that they can be applied together to maximize the utilization of the cluster. Furthermore, the theoretical analysis is provided to prove the convergence of the proposed Overlap-FedAvg framework. Extensive experiments on both conventional and recurrent tasks with multiple models and datasets also demonstrate that the proposed Overlap-FedAvg framework substantially boosts the federated learning process.
