Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Federated learning is a distributed machine learning method for training models with data localization. However, data generated by local devices is often heterogeneous (non-independent and identically distributed, Non-IID), as it is influenced by time, geographical location, and sampling bias, which can lead to suboptimal performance and slower convergence of models. Most methods mitigate this issue by adjusting the optimization direction on the local device or leveraging shared datasets. However, they still can’t work well for Non-IID data, due to the insufficient utilization of local high-quality data. For these problems, we propose an optimizing method, FedAEF. It trains autoencoders on local devices to extract local data features, and the server aggregates these features and generates independent and identically distributed (IID) data to fine-tune the global model. Experiments show that, compared to FedAVG, FedProx, and SCAFFOLD, FedAEF improves the accuracy by 2.5%, and the convergence performance of the model is improved by 55.9%.
