Federated Learning, a new machine learning paradigm enhancing the use of edge devices, is receiving a lot of attention in the pervasive community to support the development of smart services. Nevertheless, this approach still needs to be adapted to the specificity of the pervasive domain. In particular, issues related to continual learning need to be addressed. In this paper, we present a distillation-based approach dealing with catastrophic forgetting in federated learning scenario. Specifically, Human Activity Recognition tasks are used as a demonstration domain.

Continual learning studies agents that learn from streams of tasks without forgetting previous ones while adapting to new ones. Two recent continual-learning scenarios have opened new avenues of research. In meta-continual learning, the model is pre-
trained to minimize catastrophic forgetting of previous tasks. In continual-meta learning, the aim is to train agents for faster remembering of previous tasks through adaptation. In their original formulations, both methods have limitations. We stand on their shoulders to propose a more general scenario, OSAKA, where an agent must quickly solve new (out-of-distribution) tasks, while also requiring fast remembering. We show that current continual learning, meta-learning, meta-continual learning, and continual-meta learning techniques fail in this new scenario. We propose Continual-MAML, an online extension of the popular MAML algorithm as a strong baseline for this scenario. We empirically show that Continual-MAML is better suited to the new scenario than the aforementioned methodologies, as well as standard continual learning and meta-learning approaches.
Federated Learning (FL) is a decentralized machine-learning paradigm, in which a global server iteratively averages the model parameters of local users without accessing their data. User heterogeneity has imposed significant challenges to FL, which c
an incur drifted global models that are slow to converge. Knowledge Distillation has recently emerged to tackle this issue, by refining the server model using aggregated knowledge from heterogeneous users, other than directly averaging their model parameters. This approach, however, depends on a proxy dataset, making it impractical unless such a prerequisite is satisfied. Moreover, the ensemble knowledge is not fully utilized to guide local model learning, which may in turn affect the quality of the aggregated model. Inspired by the prior art, we propose a data-free knowledge distillation} approach to address heterogeneous FL, where the server learns a lightweight generator to ensemble user information in a data-free manner, which is then broadcasted to users, regulating local training using the learned knowledge as an inductive bias. Empirical studies powered by theoretical implications show that, our approach facilitates FL with better generalization performance using fewer communication rounds, compared with the state-of-the-art.
Pervasive computing applications commonly involve users personal smartphones collecting data to influence application behavior. Applications are often backed by models that learn from the users experiences to provide personalized and responsive behav
ior. While models are often pre-trained on massive datasets, federated learning has gained attention for its ability to train globally shared models on users private data without requiring the users to share their data directly. However, federated learning requires devices to collaborate via a central server, under the assumption that all users desire to learn the same model. We define a new approach, opportunistic federated learning, in which individual devices belonging to different users seek to learn robust models that are personalized to their users own experiences. However, instead of learning in isolation, these models opportunistically incorporate the learned experiences of other devices they encounter opportunistically. In this paper, we explore the feasibility and limits of such an approach, culminating in a framework that supports encounter-based pairwise collaborative learning. The use of our opportunistic encounter-based learning amplifies the performance of personalized learning while resisting overfitting to encountered data.
This paper proposes a decentralized FL scheme for IoE devices connected via multi-hop networks. FL has gained attention as an enabler of privacy-preserving algorithms, but it is not guaranteed that FL algorithms converge to the optimal point because
of non-convexity when using decentralized parameter averaging schemes. Therefore, a distributed algorithm that converges to the optimal solution should be developed. The key idea of the proposed algorithm is to aggregate the local prediction functions, not in a parameter space but in a function space. Since machine learning tasks can be regarded as convex functional optimization problems, a consensus-based optimization algorithm achieves the global optimum if it is tailored to work in a function space. This paper at first analyzes the convergence of the proposed algorithm in a function space, which is referred to as a meta-algorithm. It is shown that spectral graph theory can be applied to the function space in a similar manner as that of numerical vectors. Then, a CMFD is developed for NN as an implementation of the meta-algorithm. CMFD leverages knowledge distillation to realize function aggregation among adjacent devices without parameter averaging. One of the advantages of CMFD is that it works even when NN models are different among the distributed learners. This paper shows that CMFD achieves higher accuracy than parameter aggregation under weakly-connected networks. The stability of CMFD is also higher than that of parameter aggregation methods.
Rumors are often associated with newly emerging events, thus, an ability to deal with unseen rumors is crucial for a rumor veracity classification model. Previous works address this issue by improving the models generalizability, with an assumption t
hat the model will stay unchanged even after the new outbreak of an event. In this work, we propose an alternative solution to continuously update the model in accordance with the dynamics of rumor domain creations. The biggest technical challenge associated with this new approach is the catastrophic forgetting of previous learnings due to new learnings. We adopt continual learning strategies that control the new learnings to avoid catastrophic forgetting and propose an additional strategy that can jointly be used to strengthen the forgetting alleviation.
