In federated learning (FL), fair and accurate measurement of the contribution of each federated participant is of great significance. The level of contribution not only provides a rational metric for distributing financial benefits among federated participants, but also helps to discover malicious participants that try to poison the FL framework. Previous methods for contribution measurement were based on enumeration over possible combination of federated participants. Their computation costs increase drastically with the number of participants or feature dimensions, making them inapplicable in practical situations. In this paper an efficient method is proposed to evaluate the contributions of federated participants. This paper focuses on the horizontal FL framework, where client servers calculate parameter gradients over their local data, and upload the gradients to the central server. Before aggregating the client gradients, the central server train a data value estimator of the gradients using reinforcement learning techniques. As shown by experimental results, the proposed method consistently outperforms the conventional leave-one-out method in terms of valuation authenticity as well as time complexity.

Client contribution evaluation, also known as data valuation, is a crucial approach in federated learning(FL) for client selection and incentive allocation. However, due to restrictions of accessibility of raw data, only limited information such as l
ocal weights and local data size of each client is open for quantifying the client contribution. Using data size from available information, we introduce an empirical evaluation method called Federated Client Contribution Evaluation through Accuracy Approximation(FedCCEA). This method builds the Accuracy Approximation Model(AAM), which estimates a simulated test accuracy using inputs of sampled data size and extracts the clients data quality and data size to measure client contribution. FedCCEA strengthens some advantages: (1) enablement of data size selection to the clients, (2) feasible evaluation time regardless of the number of clients, and (3) precise estimation in non-IID settings. We demonstrate the superiority of FedCCEA compared to previous methods through several experiments: client contribution distribution, client removal, and robustness test to partial participation.
Federated learning (FL) collaboratively aggregates a shared global model depending on multiple local clients, while keeping the training data decentralized in order to preserve data privacy. However, standard FL methods ignore the noisy client issue,
which may harm the overall performance of the aggregated model. In this paper, we first analyze the noisy client statement, and then model noisy clients with different noise distributions (e.g., Bernoulli and truncated Gaussian distributions). To learn with noisy clients, we propose a simple yet effective FL framework, named Federated Noisy Client Learning (Fed-NCL), which is a plug-and-play algorithm and contains two main components: a data quality measurement (DQM) to dynamically quantify the data quality of each participating client, and a noise robust aggregation (NRA) to adaptively aggregate the local models of each client by jointly considering the amount of local training data and the data quality of each client. Our Fed-NCL can be easily applied in any standard FL workflow to handle the noisy client issue. Experimental results on various datasets demonstrate that our algorithm boosts the performances of different state-of-the-art systems with noisy clients.
Federated Learning (FL) bridges the gap between collaborative machine learning and preserving data privacy. To sustain the long-term operation of an FL ecosystem, it is important to attract high quality data owners with appropriate incentive schemes.
As an important building block of such incentive schemes, it is essential to fairly evaluate participants contribution to the performance of the final FL model without exposing their private data. Shapley Value (SV)-based techniques have been widely adopted to provide fair evaluation of FL participant contributions. However, existing approaches incur significant computation costs, making them difficult to apply in practice. In this paper, we propose the Guided Truncation Gradient Shapley (GTG-Shapley) approach to address this challenge. It reconstructs FL models from gradient updates for SV calculation instead of repeatedly training with different combinations of FL participants. In addition, we design a guided Monte Carlo sampling approach combined with within-round and between-round truncation to further reduce the number of model reconstructions and evaluations required, through extensive experiments under diverse realistic data distribution settings. The results demonstrate that GTG-Shapley can closely approximate actual Shapley values, while significantly increasing computational efficiency compared to the state of the art, especially under non-i.i.d. settings.
Federated Learning is a distributed machine learning approach which enables model training without data sharing. In this paper, we propose a new federated learning algorithm, Federated Averaging with Client-level Momentum (FedCM), to tackle problems
of partial participation and client heterogeneity in real-world federated learning applications. FedCM aggregates global gradient information in previous communication rounds and modifies client gradient descent with a momentum-like term, which can effectively correct the bias and improve the stability of local SGD. We provide theoretical analysis to highlight the benefits of FedCM. We also perform extensive empirical studies and demonstrate that FedCM achieves superior performance in various tasks and is robust to different levels of client numbers, participation rate and client heterogeneity.
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.
