Anomalous Client Detection in Federated Learning

  • 基于异常检测筛选客户端,替代随机选择
  • 在MNIST上减少近50%通信轮次实现收敛
  • 适合关注隐私保护与系统鲁棒性的研究者

联邦学习(FL)在物联网和边缘计算日益发展的背景下,被视为对延迟和隐私敏感应用的有前景解决方案。然而,由于数据广泛分布于多个客户端,设备故障或意外事件导致的客户端异常难以监控。现有大多数FL方案集中于分类问题,忽视了需兼顾隐私保护与有效性的异常检测需求。当前系统无法完全应对客户端潜在的异常行为,如发送任意参数值或导致收敛延迟,因客户端随机选取而无法识别其异常状态。客户端选择对联邦学习效率至关重要。尽管客户端漂移和低算力慢客户端问题已有研究,但针对安全或性能影响的异常客户端检测仍鲜有探索。本文提出一种异常客户端检测算法,以应对恶意攻击与客户端漂移。通过替代随机选择,利用异常检测剔除不良客户端,显著提升系统安全性和效率。实验表明,在MNIST数据集上,该方法相较普遍使用的随机客户端选择,几乎减少50%通信轮次实现全局模型收敛。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Federated learning (FL), with the growing IoT and edge computing, is seen as a promising solution for applications that are latency- and privacy-aware. However, due to the widespread dispersion of data across many clients, it is challenging to monitor client anomalies caused by malfunctioning devices or unexpected events. The majority of FL solutions now in use concentrate on the classification problem, ignoring situations in which anomaly detection may also necessitate privacy preservation and effectiveness. The system in federated learning is unable to manage the potentially flawed behavior of its clients completely. These behaviors include sharing arbitrary parameter values and causing a delay in convergence since clients are chosen at random without knowing the malfunctioning behavior of the client. Client selection is crucial in terms of the efficiency of the federated learning framework. The challenges such as client drift and handling slow clients with low computational capability are well-studied in FL. However, the detection of anomalous clients either for security or for overall performance in the FL frameworks is hardly studied in the literature. In this paper, we propose an anomaly client detection algorithm to overcome malicious client attacks and client drift in FL frameworks. Instead of random client selection, our proposed method utilizes anomaly client detection to remove clients from the FL framework, thereby enhancing the security and efficiency of the overall system. This proposed method improves the global model convergence in almost 50\% fewer communication rounds compared with widely used random client selection using the MNIST dataset.
