In Federated Learning (FL), a group of workers participate to build a global model under the coordination of one node, the chief. Regarding the cybersecurity of FL, some attacks aim at injecting the fabricated local model updates into the system. Some defenses are based on malicious worker detection and behavioral pattern analysis. In this context, without timely and dynamic monitoring methods, the chief cannot detect and remove the malicious or unreliable workers from the system. Our work emphasize the urgency to prepare the federated learning process for monitoring and eventually behavioral pattern analysis. We study the information inside the learning process in the early stages of training, propose a monitoring process and evaluate the monitoring period required. The aim is to analyse at what time is it appropriate to start the detection algorithm in order to remove the malicious or unreliable workers from the system and optimise the defense mechanism deployment. We tested our strategy on a behavioral pattern analysis defense applied to the FL process of different benchmark systems for text and image classification. Our results show that the monitoring process lowers false positives and false negatives and consequently increases system efficiency by enabling the distributed learning system to achieve better performance in the early stage of training.

Many modern machine learning algorithms such as generative adversarial networks (GANs) and adversarial training can be formulated as minimax optimization. Gradient descent ascent (GDA) is the most commonly used algorithm due to its simplicity. However, GDA can converge to non-optimal minimax points. We propose a new minimax optimization framework, GDA-AM, that views the GDAdynamics as a fixed-point iteration and solves it using Anderson Mixing to con-verge to the local minimax. It addresses the diverging issue of simultaneous GDAand accelerates the convergence of alternating GDA. We show theoretically that the algorithm can achieve global convergence for bilinear problems under mild conditions. We also empirically show that GDA-AMsolves a variety of minimax problems and improves GAN training on several datasets

Today, various machine learning (ML) applications offer continuous data processing and real-time data analytics at the edge of a wireless network. Distributed ML solutions are seriously challenged by resource heterogeneity, in particular, the so-called straggler effect. To address this issue, we design a novel device-to-device (D2D)-aided coded federated learning method (D2D-CFL) for load balancing across devices while characterizing privacy leakage. The proposed solution captures system dynamics, including data (time-dependent learning model, varied intensity of data arrivals), device (diverse computational resources and volume of training data), and deployment (varied locations and D2D graph connectivity). We derive an optimal compression rate for achieving minimum processing time and establish its connection with the convergence time. The resulting optimization problem provides suboptimal compression parameters, which improve the total training time. Our proposed method is beneficial for real-time collaborative applications, where the users continuously generate training data.

The optimal design of federated learning (FL) algorithms for solving general machine learning (ML) problems in practical edge computing systems with quantized message passing remains an open problem. This paper considers an edge computing system where the server and workers have possibly different computing and communication capabilities and employ quantization before transmitting messages. To explore the full potential of FL in such an edge computing system, we first present a general FL algorithm, namely GenQSGD, parameterized by the numbers of global and local iterations, mini-batch size, and step size sequence. Then, we analyze its convergence for an arbitrary step size sequence and specify the convergence results under three commonly adopted step size rules, namely the constant, exponential, and diminishing step size rules. Next, we optimize the algorithm parameters to minimize the energy cost under the time constraint and convergence error constraint, with the focus on the overall implementing process of FL. Specifically, for any given step size sequence under each considered step size rule, we optimize the numbers of global and local iterations and mini-batch size to optimally implement FL for applications with preset step size sequences. We also optimize the step size sequence along with these algorithm parameters to explore the full potential of FL. The resulting optimization problems are challenging non-convex problems with non-differentiable constraint functions. We propose iterative algorithms to obtain KKT points using general inner approximation (GIA) and tricks for solving complementary geometric programming (CGP). Finally, we numerically demonstrate the remarkable gains of GenQSGD with optimized algorithm parameters over existing FL algorithms and reveal the significance of optimally designing general FL algorithms.

Optimal algorithm design for federated learning (FL) remains an open problem. This paper explores the full potential of FL in practical edge computing systems where workers may have different computation and communication capabilities, and quantized intermediate model updates are sent between the server and workers. First, we present a general quantized parallel mini-batch stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithm for FL, namely GenQSGD, which is parameterized by the number of global iterations, the numbers of local iterations at all workers, and the mini-batch size. We also analyze its convergence error for any choice of the algorithm parameters. Then, we optimize the algorithm parameters to minimize the energy cost under the time constraint and convergence error constraint. The optimization problem is a challenging non-convex problem with non-differentiable constraint functions. We propose an iterative algorithm to obtain a KKT point using advanced optimization techniques. Numerical results demonstrate the significant gains of GenQSGD over existing FL algorithms and reveal the importance of optimally designing FL algorithms.

Traffic flows in a distributed computing network require both transmission and processing, and can be interdicted by removing either communication or computation resources. We study the robustness of a distributed computing network under the failures of communication links and computation nodes. We define cut metrics that measure the connectivity, and show a non-zero gap between the maximum flow and the minimum cut. Moreover, we study a network flow interdiction problem that minimizes the maximum flow by removing communication and computation resources within a given budget. We develop mathematical programs to compute the optimal interdiction, and polynomial-time approximation algorithms that achieve near-optimal interdiction in simulation.

Federated Learning (FL) is a decentralized machine-learning paradigm, in which a global server iteratively averages the model parameters of local users without accessing their data. User heterogeneity has imposed significant challenges to FL, which can incur drifted global models that are slow to converge. Knowledge Distillation has recently emerged to tackle this issue, by refining the server model using aggregated knowledge from heterogeneous users, other than directly averaging their model parameters. This approach, however, depends on a proxy dataset, making it impractical unless such a prerequisite is satisfied. Moreover, the ensemble knowledge is not fully utilized to guide local model learning, which may in turn affect the quality of the aggregated model. Inspired by the prior art, we propose a data-free knowledge distillation} approach to address heterogeneous FL, where the server learns a lightweight generator to ensemble user information in a data-free manner, which is then broadcasted to users, regulating local training using the learned knowledge as an inductive bias. Empirical studies powered by theoretical implications show that, our approach facilitates FL with better generalization performance using fewer communication rounds, compared with the state-of-the-art.

Federated learning (FL) is a machine learning setting where many clients (e.g. mobile devices or whole organizations) collaboratively train a model under the orchestration of a central server (e.g. service provider), while keeping the training data decentralized. FL embodies the principles of focused data collection and minimization, and can mitigate many of the systemic privacy risks and costs resulting from traditional, centralized machine learning and data science approaches. Motivated by the explosive growth in FL research, this paper discusses recent advances and presents an extensive collection of open problems and challenges.

In this paper, an interference-aware path planning scheme for a network of cellular-connected unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is proposed. In particular, each UAV aims at achieving a tradeoff between maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing both wireless latency and the interference level caused on the ground network along its path. The problem is cast as a dynamic game among UAVs. To solve this game, a deep reinforcement learning algorithm, based on echo state network (ESN) cells, is proposed. The introduced deep ESN architecture is trained to allow each UAV to map each observation of the network state to an action, with the goal of minimizing a sequence of time-dependent utility functions. Each UAV uses ESN to learn its optimal path, transmission power level, and cell association vector at different locations along its path. The proposed algorithm is shown to reach a subgame perfect Nash equilibrium (SPNE) upon convergence. Moreover, an upper and lower bound for the altitude of the UAVs is derived thus reducing the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves better wireless latency per UAV and rate per ground user (UE) while requiring a number of steps that is comparable to a heuristic baseline that considers moving via the shortest distance towards the corresponding destinations. The results also show that the optimal altitude of the UAVs varies based on the ground network density and the UE data rate requirements and plays a vital role in minimizing the interference level on the ground UEs as well as the wireless transmission delay of the UAV.

In this paper, we study the optimal convergence rate for distributed convex optimization problems in networks. We model the communication restrictions imposed by the network as a set of affine constraints and provide optimal complexity bounds for four different setups, namely: the function $F(\xb) \triangleq \sum_{i=1}^{m}f_i(\xb)$ is strongly convex and smooth, either strongly convex or smooth or just convex. Our results show that Nesterov's accelerated gradient descent on the dual problem can be executed in a distributed manner and obtains the same optimal rates as in the centralized version of the problem (up to constant or logarithmic factors) with an additional cost related to the spectral gap of the interaction matrix. Finally, we discuss some extensions to the proposed setup such as proximal friendly functions, time-varying graphs, improvement of the condition numbers.
