Since data is presented long-tailed in reality, it is challenging for Federated Learning (FL) to train across decentralized clients as practical applications. We present Global-Regularized Personalization (GRP-FED) to tackle the data imbalanced issue by considering a single global model and multiple local models for each client. With adaptive aggregation, the global model treats multiple clients fairly and mitigates the global long-tailed issue. Each local model is learned from the local data and aligns with its distribution for customization. To prevent the local model from just overfitting, GRP-FED applies an adversarial discriminator to regularize between the learned global-local features. Extensive results show that our GRP-FED improves under both global and local scenarios on real-world MIT-BIH and synthesis CIFAR-10 datasets, achieving comparable performance and addressing client imbalance.

Federated learning (FL) is a promising approach for training decentralized data located on local client devices while improving efficiency and privacy. However, the distribution and quantity of the training data on the clients side may lead to signif icant challenges such as class imbalance and non-IID (non-independent and identically distributed) data, which could greatly impact the performance of the common model. While much effort has been devoted to helping FL models converge when encountering non-IID data, the imbalance issue has not been sufficiently addressed. In particular, as FL training is executed by exchanging gradients in an encrypted form, the training data is not completely observable to either clients or servers, and previous methods for class imbalance do not perform well for FL. Therefore, it is crucial to design new methods for detecting class imbalance in FL and mitigating its impact. In this work, we propose a monitoring scheme that can infer the composition of training data for each FL round, and design a new loss function -- textbf{Ratio Loss} to mitigate the impact of the imbalance. Our experiments demonstrate the importance of acknowledging class imbalance and taking measures as early as possible in FL training, and the effectiveness of our method in mitigating the impact. Our method is shown to significantly outperform previous methods, while maintaining client privacy.

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.
Traditionally, federated learning (FL) aims to train a single global model while collaboratively using multiple clients and a server. Two natural challenges that FL algorithms face are heterogeneity in data across clients and collaboration of clients with {em diverse resources}. In this work, we introduce a textit{quantized} and textit{personalized} FL algorithm QuPeD that facilitates collective (personalized model compression) training via textit{knowledge distillation} (KD) among clients who have access to heterogeneous data and resources. For personalization, we allow clients to learn textit{compressed personalized models} with different quantization parameters and model dimensions/structures. Towards this, first we propose an algorithm for learning quantized models through a relaxed optimization problem, where quantization values are also optimized over. When each client participating in the (federated) learning process has different requirements for the compressed model (both in model dimension and precision), we formulate a compressed personalization framework by introducing knowledge distillation loss for local client objectives collaborating through a global model. We develop an alternating proximal gradient update for solving this compressed personalization problem, and analyze its convergence properties. Numerically, we validate that QuPeD outperforms competing personalized FL methods, FedAvg, and local training of clients in various heterogeneous settings.

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 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.
