联合学习（FL）使多个设备能够在不共享其个人数据的情况下协作学习全局模型。在现实世界应用中，不同的各方可能具有异质数据分布和有限的通信带宽。在本文中，我们有兴趣提高FL系统的通信效率。我们根据梯度规范的重要性调查和设计设备选择策略。特别是，我们的方法包括在每个通信轮中选择具有最高梯度值的最高规范的设备。我们研究了这种选择技术的收敛性和性能，并将其与现有技术进行比较。我们用非IID设置执行几个实验。结果显示了我们的方法的收敛性，与随机选择比较的测试精度相当大。

联合学习（FL）是一个分布式的机器学习框架，可以减轻数据孤岛，在该筒仓中，分散的客户在不共享其私人数据的情况下协作学习全球模型。但是，客户的非独立且相同分布的（非IID）数据对训练有素的模型产生了负面影响，并且具有不同本地更新的客户可能会在每个通信回合中对本地梯度造成巨大差距。在本文中，我们提出了一种联合矢量平均（FedVeca）方法来解决上述非IID数据问题。具体而言，我们为与本地梯度相关的全球模型设定了一个新的目标。局部梯度定义为具有步长和方向的双向向量，其中步长为局部更新的数量，并且根据我们的定义将方向分为正和负。在FedVeca中，方向受步尺的影响，因此我们平均双向向量，以降低不同步骤尺寸的效果。然后，我们理论上分析了步骤大小与全球目标之间的关系，并在每个通信循环的步骤大小上获得上限。基于上限，我们为服务器和客户端设计了一种算法，以自适应调整使目标接近最佳的步骤大小。最后，我们通过构建原型系统对不同数据集，模型和场景进行实验，实验结果证明了FedVeca方法的有效性和效率。

在联合学习（FL）的新兴范式中，大量客户端（例如移动设备）用于在各自的数据上训练可能的高维模型。由于移动设备的带宽低，分散的优化方法需要将计算负担从那些客户端转移到计算服务器，同时保留隐私和合理的通信成本。在本文中，我们专注于深度，如多层神经网络的培训，在FL设置下。我们提供了一种基于本地模型的层状和维度更新的新型联合学习方法，减轻了非凸起和手头优化任务的多层性质的新型联合学习方法。我们为Fed-Lamb提供了一种彻底的有限时间收敛性分析，表征其渐变减少的速度有多速度。我们在IID和非IID设置下提供实验结果，不仅可以证实我们的理论，而且与最先进的方法相比，我们的方法的速度更快。

联合学习（FL）算法通常在每个圆数（部分参与）大并且服务器的通信带宽有限时对每个轮子（部分参与）进行分数。近期对FL的收敛分析的作品专注于无偏见的客户采样，例如，随机均匀地采样，由于高度的系统异质性和统计异质性而均匀地采样。本文旨在设计一种自适应客户采样算法，可以解决系统和统计异质性，以最小化壁时钟收敛时间。我们获得了具有任意客户端采样概率的流动算法的新的遗传融合。基于界限，我们分析了建立了总学习时间和采样概率之间的关系，这导致了用于训练时间最小化的非凸优化问题。我们设计一种高效的算法来学习收敛绑定中未知参数，并开发低复杂性算法以大致解决非凸面问题。硬件原型和仿真的实验结果表明，与几个基线采样方案相比，我们所提出的采样方案显着降低了收敛时间。值得注意的是，我们的硬件原型的方案比均匀的采样基线花费73％，以达到相同的目标损失。

联合学习（FL）框架使Edge客户能够协作学习共享的推理模型，同时保留对客户的培训数据的隐私。最近，已经采取了许多启发式方法来概括集中化的自适应优化方法，例如SGDM，Adam，Adagrad等，以提高收敛性和准确性的联合设置。但是，关于在联合设置中的位置以及如何设计和利用自适应优化方法的理论原理仍然很少。这项工作旨在从普通微分方程（ODE）的动力学的角度开发新的自适应优化方法，以开发FL的新型自适应优化方法。首先，建立了一个分析框架，以在联合优化方法和相应集中优化器的ODES分解之间建立连接。其次，基于这个分析框架，开发了一种动量解耦自适应优化方法FedDA，以充分利用每种本地迭代的全球动量并加速训练收敛。最后但并非最不重要的一点是，在训练过程结束时，全部批处理梯度用于模仿集中式优化，以确保收敛并克服由自适应优化方法引起的可能的不一致。

在这项工作中，我们提出了FedSSO，这是一种用于联合学习的服务器端二阶优化方法（FL）。与以前朝这个方向的工作相反，我们在准牛顿方法中采用了服务器端近似，而无需客户的任何培训数据。通过这种方式，我们不仅将计算负担从客户端转移到服务器，而且还消除了客户和服务器之间二阶更新的附加通信。我们为我们的新方法的收敛提供了理论保证，并从经验上证明了我们在凸面和非凸面设置中的快速收敛和沟通节省。

在最新的联合学习研究（FL）的研究中，广泛采用了客户选择方案来处理沟通效率的问题。但是，从随机选择的非代表性子集汇总的模型更新的较大差异直接减慢了FL收敛性。我们提出了一种新型的基于聚类的客户选择方案，以通过降低方差加速FL收敛。简单而有效的方案旨在改善聚类效果并控制效果波动，因此，以采样的一定代表性生成客户子集。从理论上讲，我们证明了降低方差方案的改进。由于差异的差异，我们还提供了提出方法的更严格的收敛保证。实验结果证实了与替代方案相比，我们计划的效率超出了效率。

联合学习（FL）是一种新兴技术，用于协作训练全球机器学习模型，同时将数据局限于用户设备。FL实施实施的主要障碍是用户之间的非独立且相同的（非IID）数据分布，这会减慢收敛性和降低性能。为了解决这个基本问题，我们提出了一种方法（comfed），以增强客户端和服务器侧的整个培训过程。舒适的关键思想是同时利用客户端变量减少技术来促进服务器聚合和全局自适应更新技术以加速学习。我们在CIFAR-10分类任务上的实验表明，Comfed可以改善专用于非IID数据的最新算法。

We envision a mobile edge computing (MEC) framework for machine learning (ML) technologies, which leverages distributed client data and computation resources for training high-performance ML models while preserving client privacy. Toward this future goal, this work aims to extend Federated Learning (FL), a decentralized learning framework that enables privacy-preserving training of models, to work with heterogeneous clients in a practical cellular network. The FL protocol iteratively asks random clients to download a trainable model from a server, update it with own data, and upload the updated model to the server, while asking the server to aggregate multiple client updates to further improve the model. While clients in this protocol are free from disclosing own private data, the overall training process can become inefficient when some clients are with limited computational resources (i.e., requiring longer update time) or under poor wireless channel conditions (longer upload time). Our new FL protocol, which we refer to as FedCS, mitigates this problem and performs FL efficiently while actively managing clients based on their resource conditions. Specifically, FedCS solves a client selection problem with resource constraints, which allows the server to aggregate as many client updates as possible and to accelerate performance improvement in ML models. We conducted an experimental evaluation using publicly-available large-scale image datasets to train deep neural networks on MEC environment simulations. The experimental results show that FedCS is able to complete its training process in a significantly shorter time compared to the original FL protocol.

Federated learning (FL) is a method to train model with distributed data from numerous participants such as IoT devices. It inherently assumes a uniform capacity among participants. However, participants have diverse computational resources in practice due to different conditions such as different energy budgets or executing parallel unrelated tasks. It is necessary to reduce the computation overhead for participants with inefficient computational resources, otherwise they would be unable to finish the full training process. To address the computation heterogeneity, in this paper we propose a strategy for estimating local models without computationally intensive iterations. Based on it, we propose Computationally Customized Federated Learning (CCFL), which allows each participant to determine whether to perform conventional local training or model estimation in each round based on its current computational resources. Both theoretical analysis and exhaustive experiments indicate that CCFL has the same convergence rate as FedAvg without resource constraints. Furthermore, CCFL can be viewed of a computation-efficient extension of FedAvg that retains model performance while considerably reducing computation overhead.

Federated learning (FL) is a collaborative machine learning framework that requires different clients (e.g., Internet of Things devices) to participate in the machine learning model training process by training and uploading their local models to an FL server in each global iteration. Upon receiving the local models from all the clients, the FL server generates a global model by aggregating the received local models. This traditional FL process may suffer from the straggler problem in heterogeneous client settings, where the FL server has to wait for slow clients to upload their local models in each global iteration, thus increasing the overall training time. One of the solutions is to set up a deadline and only the clients that can upload their local models before the deadline would be selected in the FL process. This solution may lead to a slow convergence rate and global model overfitting issues due to the limited client selection. In this paper, we propose the Latency awarE Semi-synchronous client Selection and mOdel aggregation for federated learNing (LESSON) method that allows all the clients to participate in the whole FL process but with different frequencies. That is, faster clients would be scheduled to upload their models more frequently than slow clients, thus resolving the straggler problem and accelerating the convergence speed, while avoiding model overfitting. Also, LESSON is capable of adjusting the tradeoff between the model accuracy and convergence rate by varying the deadline. Extensive simulations have been conducted to compare the performance of LESSON with the other two baseline methods, i.e., FedAvg and FedCS. The simulation results demonstrate that LESSON achieves faster convergence speed than FedAvg and FedCS, and higher model accuracy than FedCS.

Federated learning (FL) allows multiple clients cooperatively train models without disclosing local data. However, the existing works fail to address all these practical concerns in FL: limited communication resources, dynamic network conditions and heterogeneous client properties, which slow down the convergence of FL. To tackle the above challenges, we propose a heterogeneity-aware FL framework, called FedCG, with adaptive client selection and gradient compression. Specifically, the parameter server (PS) selects a representative client subset considering statistical heterogeneity and sends the global model to them. After local training, these selected clients upload compressed model updates matching their capabilities to the PS for aggregation, which significantly alleviates the communication load and mitigates the straggler effect. We theoretically analyze the impact of both client selection and gradient compression on convergence performance. Guided by the derived convergence rate, we develop an iteration-based algorithm to jointly optimize client selection and compression ratio decision using submodular maximization and linear programming. Extensive experiments on both real-world prototypes and simulations show that FedCG can provide up to 5.3$\times$ speedup compared to other methods.

联合学习允许多个参与者在不公开数据隐私的情况下协作培训高效模型。但是，这种分布式的机器学习培训方法容易受到拜占庭客户的攻击，拜占庭客户通过修改模型或上传假梯度来干扰全球模型的训练。在本文中，我们提出了一种基于联邦学习（CMFL）的新型无服务器联合学习框架委员会机制，该机制可以确保算法具有融合保证的鲁棒性。在CMFL中，设立了一个委员会系统，以筛选上载已上传的本地梯度。 The committee system selects the local gradients rated by the elected members for the aggregation procedure through the selection strategy, and replaces the committee member through the election strategy.基于模型性能和防御的不同考虑，设计了两种相反的选择策略是为了精确和鲁棒性。广泛的实验表明，与典型的联邦学习相比，与传统的稳健性相比，CMFL的融合和更高的准确性比传统的稳健性，以分散的方法的方式获得了传统的耐受性算法。此外，我们理论上分析并证明了在不同的选举和选择策略下CMFL的收敛性，这与实验结果一致。

由于参与客户的异构特征，联邦学习往往受到不稳定和缓慢的收敛。当客户参与比率低时，这种趋势加剧了，因为从每个轮的客户收集的信息容易更加不一致。为了解决挑战，我们提出了一种新的联合学习框架，这提高了服务器端聚合步骤的稳定性，这是通过将客户端发送与全局梯度估计的加速模型来引导本地梯度更新来实现的。我们的算法自然地聚合并将全局更新信息与没有额外的通信成本的参与者传达，并且不需要将过去的模型存储在客户端中。我们还规范了本地更新，以进一步降低偏差并提高本地更新的稳定性。我们根据各种设置执行了关于实际数据的全面实证研究，与最先进的方法相比，在准确性和通信效率方面表现出了拟议方法的显着性能，特别是具有低客户参与率。我们的代码可在https://github.com/ninigapa0 / fedagm获得

由于客户端的通信资源有限和大量的模型参数，大规模分布式学习任务遭受通信瓶颈。梯度压缩是通过传输压缩梯度来减少通信负载的有效方法。由于在随机梯度下降的情况下，相邻轮的梯度可能具有高相关，因为他们希望学习相同的模型，提出了一种用于联合学习的实用梯度压缩方案，它使用历史梯度来压缩梯度并且基于Wyner-Ziv编码但没有任何概率的假设。我们还在实时数据集上实现了我们的渐变量化方法，我们的方法的性能优于前一个方案。

A fundamental challenge to providing edge-AI services is the need for a machine learning (ML) model that achieves personalization (i.e., to individual clients) and generalization (i.e., to unseen data) properties concurrently. Existing techniques in federated learning (FL) have encountered a steep tradeoff between these objectives and impose large computational requirements on edge devices during training and inference. In this paper, we propose SplitGP, a new split learning solution that can simultaneously capture generalization and personalization capabilities for efficient inference across resource-constrained clients (e.g., mobile/IoT devices). Our key idea is to split the full ML model into client-side and server-side components, and impose different roles to them: the client-side model is trained to have strong personalization capability optimized to each client's main task, while the server-side model is trained to have strong generalization capability for handling all clients' out-of-distribution tasks. We analytically characterize the convergence behavior of SplitGP, revealing that all client models approach stationary points asymptotically. Further, we analyze the inference time in SplitGP and provide bounds for determining model split ratios. Experimental results show that SplitGP outperforms existing baselines by wide margins in inference time and test accuracy for varying amounts of out-of-distribution samples.

As a novel distributed learning paradigm, federated learning (FL) faces serious challenges in dealing with massive clients with heterogeneous data distribution and computation and communication resources. Various client-variance-reduction schemes and client sampling strategies have been respectively introduced to improve the robustness of FL. Among others, primal-dual algorithms such as the alternating direction of method multipliers (ADMM) have been found being resilient to data distribution and outperform most of the primal-only FL algorithms. However, the reason behind remains a mystery still. In this paper, we firstly reveal the fact that the federated ADMM is essentially a client-variance-reduced algorithm. While this explains the inherent robustness of federated ADMM, the vanilla version of it lacks the ability to be adaptive to the degree of client heterogeneity. Besides, the global model at the server under client sampling is biased which slows down the practical convergence. To go beyond ADMM, we propose a novel primal-dual FL algorithm, termed FedVRA, that allows one to adaptively control the variance-reduction level and biasness of the global model. In addition, FedVRA unifies several representative FL algorithms in the sense that they are either special instances of FedVRA or are close to it. Extensions of FedVRA to semi/un-supervised learning are also presented. Experiments based on (semi-)supervised image classification tasks demonstrate superiority of FedVRA over the existing schemes in learning scenarios with massive heterogeneous clients and client sampling.

分布式深度学习框架，如联合学习（FL）及其变体都是在广泛的Web客户端和移动/ IOT设备上实现个性化体验。然而，由于模型参数的爆炸增长（例如，十亿参数模型），基于FL的框架受到客户的计算资源的限制。拆分学习（SL），最近的框架，通过拆分客户端和服务器之间的模型培训来减少客户端计算负载。这种灵活性对于低计算设置非常有用，但通常以带宽消耗的增加成本而实现，并且可能导致次优化会聚，尤其是当客户数据异构时。在这项工作中，我们介绍了adasplit，通过降低带宽消耗并提高异构客户端的性能，使得能够将SL有效地缩放到低资源场景。为了捕获和基准的分布式深度学习的多维性质，我们还介绍了C3分数，是评估资源预算下的性能。我们通过与强大联邦和分裂学习基线的大量实验比较进行了大量实验比较，验证了adasplit在有限的资源下的有效性。我们还展示了adasplit中关键设计选择的敏感性分析，该选择验证了adasplit在可变资源预算中提供适应性权衡的能力。

In federated optimization, heterogeneity in the clients' local datasets and computation speeds results in large variations in the number of local updates performed by each client in each communication round. Naive weighted aggregation of such models causes objective inconsistency, that is, the global model converges to a stationary point of a mismatched objective function which can be arbitrarily different from the true objective. This paper provides a general framework to analyze the convergence of federated heterogeneous optimization algorithms. It subsumes previously proposed methods such as FedAvg and FedProx and provides the first principled understanding of the solution bias and the convergence slowdown due to objective inconsistency. Using insights from this analysis, we propose Fed-Nova, a normalized averaging method that eliminates objective inconsistency while preserving fast error convergence.

跨不同边缘设备（客户）局部数据的分布不均匀，导致模型训练缓慢，并降低了联合学习的准确性。幼稚的联合学习（FL）策略和大多数替代解决方案试图通过加权跨客户的深度学习模型来实现更多公平。这项工作介绍了在现实世界数据集中遇到的一种新颖的非IID类型，即集群键，其中客户组具有具有相似分布的本地数据，从而导致全局模型收敛到过度拟合的解决方案。为了处理非IID数据，尤其是群集串数据的数据，我们提出了FedDrl，这是一种新型的FL模型，它采用了深厚的强化学习来适应每个客户的影响因素（将用作聚合过程中的权重）。在一组联合数据集上进行了广泛的实验证实，拟议的FEDDR可以根据CIFAR-100数据集的平均平均为FedAvg和FedProx方法提高了有利的改进，例如，高达4.05％和2.17％。
