AdeptHEQ-FL: Adaptive Homomorphic Encryption for Federated Learning of Hybrid Classical-Quantum Models with Dynamic Layer Sparing

  • 动态冻结不重要层,结合自适应同态加密实现安全高效聚合。
  • 在CIFAR-10上比基准模型高25.43%准确率,通信量显著减少。
  • 适合资源受限且需隐私保护的分布式量子机器学习场景。

联邦学习在非独立同分布的去中心化环境中面临模型性能、隐私保护与通信效率的权衡难题。现有方法或牺牲形式化隐私保障,或带来高开销,或忽略量子增强表达能力。本文提出AdeptHEQ-FL,一种统一的混合经典-量子联邦学习框架,包含:(i) 融合CNN与量子电路(PQC)的混合架构以增强表达力;(ii) 基于差分隐私验证准确率的自适应加权聚合策略;(iii) 针对敏感模型层的可选同态加密(HE)实现安全聚合;(iv) 层级自适应冻结机制以降低通信开销并保持量子灵活性。我们建立了形式化隐私保障,给出收敛性分析,并在CIFAR-10、SVHN和Fashion-MNIST数据集上进行了大量实验。AdeptHEQ-FL在CIFAR-10上相较Standard-FedQNN和FHE-FedQNN分别提升约25.43%和14.17%的准确率,同时通过冻结低重要性层有效降低通信开销,验证了其在隐私保护与资源感知设计下的高效性与实用性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Federated Learning (FL) faces inherent challenges in balancing model performance, privacy preservation, and communication efficiency, especially in non-IID decentralized environments. Recent approaches either sacrifice formal privacy guarantees, incur high overheads, or overlook quantum-enhanced expressivity. We introduce AdeptHEQ-FL, a unified hybrid classical-quantum FL framework that integrates (i) a hybrid CNN-PQC architecture for expressive decentralized learning, (ii) an adaptive accuracy-weighted aggregation scheme leveraging differentially private validation accuracies, (iii) selective homomorphic encryption (HE) for secure aggregation of sensitive model layers, and (iv) dynamic layer-wise adaptive freezing to minimize communication overhead while preserving quantum adaptability. We establish formal privacy guarantees, provide convergence analysis, and conduct extensive experiments on the CIFAR-10, SVHN, and Fashion-MNIST datasets. AdeptHEQ-FL achieves a $\approx 25.43\%$ and $\approx 14.17\%$ accuracy improvement over Standard-FedQNN and FHE-FedQNN, respectively, on the CIFAR-10 dataset. Additionally, it reduces communication overhead by freezing less important layers, demonstrating the efficiency and practicality of our privacy-preserving, resource-aware design for FL.
