让联邦学习的解释带不确定性,提升模型可靠性和准确性。

Uncertainty-Aware Explainable Federated Learning

  • 客户端生成解释,服务器聚合时融合不确定性信息。
  • 比无不确定性评估的现有方法准确率高2.71%和1.77%。
  • 适合关注模型可解释性与可信度的隐私敏感场景使用者。

联邦学习(FL)是一种保护数据隐私的协作式机器学习范式,但其隐私特性使决策过程的解释和解释可靠性评估变得困难。本文提出不确定性感知的可解释联邦学习(UncertainXFL),首次在联邦学习框架内显式提供解释的不确定性评估。解释信息由客户端生成,服务器在训练过程中以无冲突方式聚合。解释质量(包括不确定性评分和有效性)通过权重分配引导模型聚合,优先采纳高可靠性解释。大量实验表明,UncertainXFL在模型准确率和解释准确率上分别优于不考虑不确定性的当前最优方法2.71%和1.77%。通过将数据不确定性融入解释过程,UncertainXFL不仅清晰呈现解释及其置信度,还利用不确定性优化训练,显著提升模型鲁棒性与可靠性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Federated Learning (FL) is a collaborative machine learning paradigm for enhancing data privacy preservation. Its privacy-preserving nature complicates the explanation of the decision-making processes and the evaluation of the reliability of the generated explanations. In this paper, we propose the Uncertainty-aware eXplainable Federated Learning (UncertainXFL) to address these challenges. It generates explanations for decision-making processes under FL settings and provides information regarding the uncertainty of these explanations. UncertainXFL is the first framework to explicitly offer uncertainty evaluation for explanations within the FL context. Explanatory information is initially generated by the FL clients and then aggregated by the server in a comprehensive and conflict-free manner during FL training. The quality of the explanations, including the uncertainty score and tested validity, guides the FL training process by prioritizing clients with the most reliable explanations through higher weights during model aggregation. Extensive experimental evaluation results demonstrate that UncertainXFL achieves superior model accuracy and explanation accuracy, surpassing the current state-of-the-art model that does not incorporate uncertainty information by 2.71% and 1.77%, respectively. By integrating and quantifying uncertainty in the data into the explanation process, UncertainXFL not only clearly presents the explanation alongside its uncertainty, but also leverages this uncertainty to guide the FL training process, thereby enhancing the robustness and reliability of the resulting models.
