Federated learning (FL) is experiencing a fast booming with the wave of distributed machine learning and ever-increasing privacy concerns. In the FL paradigm, global model aggregation is handled by a centralized aggregate server based on local updated gradients trained on local nodes, which mitigates privacy leakage caused by the collection of sensitive information. With the increased computing and communicating capabilities of edge and IoT devices, applying FL on heterogeneous devices to train machine learning models becomes a trend. The synchronous aggregation strategy in the classic FL paradigm cannot effectively use the resources, especially on heterogeneous devices, due to its waiting for straggler devices before aggregation in each training round. Furthermore, in real-world scenarios, the disparity of data dispersed on devices (i.e. data heterogeneity) downgrades the accuracy of models. As a result, many asynchronous FL (AFL) paradigms are presented in various application scenarios to improve efficiency, performance, privacy, and security. This survey comprehensively analyzes and summarizes existing variants of AFL according to a novel classification mechanism, including device heterogeneity, data heterogeneity, privacy and security on heterogeneous devices, and applications on heterogeneous devices. Finally, this survey reveals rising challenges and presents potentially promising research directions in this under-investigated field.

The heterogeneity across devices usually hinders the optimization convergence and generalization performance of federated learning (FL) when the aggregation of devices knowledge occurs in the gradient space. For example, devices may differ in terms o
f data distribution, network latency, input/output space, and/or model architecture, which can easily lead to the misalignment of their local gradients. To improve the tolerance to heterogeneity, we propose a novel federated prototype learning (FedProto) framework in which the devices and server communicate the class prototypes instead of the gradients. FedProto aggregates the local prototypes collected from different devices, and then sends the global prototypes back to all devices to regularize the training of local models. The training on each device aims to minimize the classification error on the local data while keeping the resulting local prototypes sufficiently close to the corresponding global ones. Through experiments, we propose a benchmark setting tailored for heterogeneous FL, with FedProto outperforming several recent FL approaches on multiple datasets.
Federated learning (FL) has attracted increasing attention as a promising approach to driving a vast number of end devices with artificial intelligence. However, it is very challenging to guarantee the efficiency of FL considering the unreliable natu
re of end devices while the cost of device-server communication cannot be neglected. In this paper, we propose SAFA, a semi-asynchronous FL protocol, to address the problems in federated learning such as low round efficiency and poor convergence rate in extreme conditions (e.g., clients dropping offline frequently). We introduce novel designs in the steps of model distribution, client selection and global aggregation to mitigate the impacts of stragglers, crashes and model staleness in order to boost efficiency and improve the quality of the global model. We have conducted extensive experiments with typical machine learning tasks. The results demonstrate that the proposed protocol is effective in terms of shortening federated round duration, reducing local resource wastage, and improving the accuracy of the global model at an acceptable communication cost.
For mitigating Byzantine behaviors in federated learning (FL), most state-of-the-art approaches, such as Bulyan, tend to leverage the similarity of updates from the benign clients. However, in many practical FL scenarios, data is non-IID across clien
ts, thus the updates received from even the benign clients are quite dissimilar. Hence, using similarity based methods result in wasted opportunities to train a model from interesting non-IID data, and also slower model convergence. We propose DiverseFL to overcome this challenge in heterogeneous data distribution settings. Rather than comparing each clients update with other client updates to detect Byzantine clients, DiverseFL compares each clients update with a guiding update of that client. Any client whose update diverges from its associated guiding update is then tagged as a Byzantine node. The FL server in DiverseFL computes the guiding update in every round for each client over a small sample of the clients local data that is received only once before start of the training. However, sharing even a small sample of clients data with the FL server can compromise clients data privacy needs. To tackle this challenge, DiverseFL creates a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)-based enclave to receive each clients sample and to compute its guiding updates. TEE provides a hardware assisted verification and attestation to each client that its data is not leaked outside of TEE. Through experiments involving neural networks, benchmark datasets and popular Byzantine attacks, we demonstrate that DiverseFL not only performs Byzantine mitigation quite effectively, it also almost matches the performance of OracleSGD, where the server only aggregates the updates from the benign clients.
In recent years, data and computing resources are typically distributed in the devices of end users, various regions or organizations. Because of laws or regulations, the distributed data and computing resources cannot be directly shared among differ
ent regions or organizations for machine learning tasks. Federated learning emerges as an efficient approach to exploit distributed data and computing resources, so as to collaboratively train machine learning models, while obeying the laws and regulations and ensuring data security and data privacy. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of existing works for federated learning. We propose a functional architecture of federated learning systems and a taxonomy of related techniques. Furthermore, we present the distributed training, data communication, and security of FL systems. Finally, we analyze their limitations and propose future research directions.
Applying Federated Learning (FL) on Internet-of-Things devices is necessitated by the large volumes of data they produce and growing concerns of data privacy. However, there are three challenges that need to be addressed to make FL efficient: (i) exe
cute on devices with limited computational capabilities, (ii) account for stragglers due to computational heterogeneity of devices, and (iii) adapt to the changing network bandwidths. This paper presents FedAdapt, an adaptive offloading FL framework to mitigate the aforementioned challenges. FedAdapt accelerates local training in computationally constrained devices by leveraging layer offloading of deep neural networks (DNNs) to servers. Further, FedAdapt adopts reinforcement learning-based optimization and clustering to adaptively identify which layers of the DNN should be offloaded for each individual device on to a server to tackle the challenges of computational heterogeneity and changing network bandwidth. Experimental studies are carried out on a lab-based testbed comprising five IoT devices. By offloading a DNN from the device to the server FedAdapt reduces the training time of a typical IoT device by over half compared to classic FL. The training time of extreme stragglers and the overall training time can be reduced by up to 57%. Furthermore, with changing network bandwidth, FedAdapt is demonstrated to reduce the training time by up to 40% when compared to classic FL, without sacrificing accuracy.
