FedShift: Tackling Dual Heterogeneity Problem of Federated Learning via Weight Shift Aggregation
Feb 02, 2024
Federated Learning (FL) offers a compelling method for training machine learning models with a focus on preserving data privacy. The presence of system heterogeneity and statistical heterogeneity, recognized challenges in FL, arises from the diversity of client hardware, network, and dataset distribution. This diversity can critically affect the training pace and the performance of models. While many studies address either system or statistical heterogeneity by introducing communication-efficient or stable convergence algorithms, addressing these challenges in isolation often leads to compromises due to unaddressed heterogeneity. In response, this paper introduces FedShift, a novel algorithm designed to enhance both the training speed and the models' accuracy in a dual heterogeneity scenario. Our solution can improve client engagement through quantization and mitigate the adverse effects on performance typically associated with quantization by employing a shifting technique. This technique has proven to enhance accuracy by an average of 3.9% in diverse heterogeneity environments.
Application of End-to-End Deep Learning in Wireless Communications Systems
Aug 07, 2018
Deep learning is a potential paradigm changer for the design of wireless communications systems (WCS), from conventional handcrafted schemes based on sophisticated mathematical models with assumptions to autonomous schemes based on the end-to-end deep learning using a large number of data. In this article, we present a basic concept of the deep learning and its application to WCS by investigating the resource allocation (RA) scheme based on a deep neural network (DNN) where multiple goals with various constraints can be satisfied through the end-to-end deep learning. Especially, the optimality and feasibility of the DNN based RA are verified through simulation. Then, we discuss the technical challenges regarding the application of deep learning in WCS.
