Horizontal Federated learning (FL) handles multi-client data that share the same set of features, and vertical FL trains a better predictor that combine all the features from different clients. This paper targets solving vertical FL in an asynchronous fashion, and develops a simple FL method. The new method allows each client to run stochastic gradient algorithms without coordination with other clients, so it is suitable for intermittent connectivity of clients. This method further uses a new technique of perturbed local embedding to ensure data privacy and improve communication efficiency. Theoretically, we present the convergence rate and privacy level of our method for strongly convex, nonconvex and even nonsmooth objectives separately. Empirically, we apply our method to FL on various image and healthcare datasets. The results compare favorably to centralized and synchronous FL methods.

Federated learning (FL) is an emerging distributed machine learning paradigm that protects privacy and tackles the problem of isolated data islands. At present, there are two main communication strategies of FL: synchronous FL and asynchronous FL. Th
e advantages of synchronous FL are that the model has high precision and fast convergence speed. However, this synchronous communication strategy has the risk that the central server waits too long for the devices, namely, the straggler effect which has a negative impact on some time-critical applications. Asynchronous FL has a natural advantage in mitigating the straggler effect, but there are threats of model quality degradation and server crash. Therefore, we combine the advantages of these two strategies to propose a clustered semi-asynchronous federated learning (CSAFL) framework. We evaluate CSAFL based on four imbalanced federated datasets in a non-IID setting and compare CSAFL to the baseline methods. The experimental results show that CSAFL significantly improves test accuracy by more than +5% on the four datasets compared to TA-FedAvg. In particular, CSAFL improves absolute test accuracy by +34.4% on non-IID FEMNIST compared to TA-FedAvg.
Vertical federated learning (VFL) attracts increasing attention due to the emerging demands of multi-party collaborative modeling and concerns of privacy leakage. In the real VFL applications, usually only one or partial parties hold labels, which ma
kes it challenging for all parties to collaboratively learn the model without privacy leakage. Meanwhile, most existing VFL algorithms are trapped in the synchronous computations, which leads to inefficiency in their real-world applications. To address these challenging problems, we propose a novel {bf VF}L framework integrated with new {bf b}ackward updating mechanism and {bf b}ilevel asynchronous parallel architecture (VF{${textbf{B}}^2$}), under which three new algorithms, including VF{${textbf{B}}^2$}-SGD, -SVRG, and -SAGA, are proposed. We derive the theoretical results of the convergence rates of these three algorithms under both strongly convex and nonconvex conditions. We also prove the security of VF{${textbf{B}}^2$} under semi-honest threat models. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our algorithms are efficient, scalable and lossless.
Federated learning (FL) involves multiple distributed devices jointly training a shared model without any of the participants having to reveal their local data to a centralized server. Most of previous FL approaches assume that data on devices are fi
xed and stationary during the training process. However, this assumption is unrealistic because these devices usually have varying sampling rates and different system configurations. In addition, the underlying distribution of the device data can change dynamically over time, which is known as concept drift. Concept drift makes the learning process complicated because of the inconsistency between existing and upcoming data. Traditional concept drift handling techniques such as chunk based and ensemble learning-based methods are not suitable in the federated learning frameworks due to the heterogeneity of local devices. We propose a novel approach, FedConD, to detect and deal with the concept drift on local devices and minimize the effect on the performance of models in asynchronous FL. The drift detection strategy is based on an adaptive mechanism which uses the historical performance of the local models. The drift adaptation is realized by adjusting the regularization parameter of objective function on each local device. Additionally, we design a communication strategy on the server side to select local updates in a prudent fashion and speed up model convergence. Experimental evaluations on three evolving data streams and two image datasets show that model~detects and handles concept drift, and also reduces the overall communication cost compared to other baseline methods.
Federated Learning (FL) is a newly emerged decentralized machine learning (ML) framework that combines on-device local training with server-based model synchronization to train a centralized ML model over distributed nodes. In this paper, we propose
an asynchronous FL framework with periodic aggregation to eliminate the straggler issue in FL systems. For the proposed model, we investigate several device scheduling and update aggregation policies and compare their performances when the devices have heterogeneous computation capabilities and training data distributions. From the simulation results, we conclude that the scheduling and aggregation design for asynchronous FL can be rather different from the synchronous case. For example, a norm-based significance-aware scheduling policy might not be efficient in an asynchronous FL setting, and an appropriate age-aware weighting design for the model aggregation can greatly improve the learning performance of such systems.
We study the performance of federated learning algorithms and their variants in an asymptotic framework. Our starting point is the formulation of federated learning as a multi-criterion objective, where the goal is to minimize each clients loss using
information from all of the clients. We propose a linear regression model, where, for a given client, we theoretically compare the performance of various algorithms in the high-dimensional asymptotic limit. This asymptotic multi-criterion approach naturally models the high-dimensional, many-device nature of federated learning and suggests that personalization is central to federated learning. Our theory suggests that Fine-tuned Federated Averaging (FTFA), i.e., Federated Averaging followed by local training, and the ridge regularized variant Ridge-tuned Federated Averaging (RTFA) are competitive with more sophisticated meta-learning and proximal-regularized approaches. In addition to being conceptually simpler, FTFA and RTFA are computationally more efficient than its competitors. We corroborate our theoretical claims with extensive experiments on federat
