TL;DR

This work proposes a similarity-based algorithm, FedKNN, which utilizes similarity between clients as part of the aggregation and restricts aggregation to the most similar neighborhood of the client, and represents the client networks as graph and shows that through similar neighborhood aggregation clients can benefit from the collective knowledge of the network and have flexibility in adapting to data drift.

Prototype-based federated learning for one-time soft clustering

Experiments under representative Non-IID settings on benchmark datasets show that PFLS-One achieves improved accuracy and faster convergence compared with representative baseline methods, and the convergence analysis under a non-convex objective provides theoretical support for the proposed method.

Global Federated Learning Strategies for Building Efficient Personalized Models

Federated learning (FL) is a practical framework that can train models on distributed user data while guaranteeing data privacy; however, due to heterogeneity in which each user has a different data distribution, problems frequently arise where both global and personalization performance deteriorate simultaneously. Thi...

Assessing the Impacts of Imperfect Datasets on Client Selections in Federated Learning

This study experimentally measures the impact of non-IID data, noisy data, and fairness in client selection on model accuracy and convergence, and proposes a privacy-preserving scoring method to assess each client's contribution in FL.

Label-free dataset profiling for federated client clustering

This work introduces CoLEDS, a method for profiling unlabeled client datasets with minimal computational overhead that yields federatively trained models that are better aligned with individual data distributions and enables appropriate model assignment even for clients that do not participate in federated training.
