FairEquityFL -- A Fair and Equitable Client Selection in Federated Learning for Heterogeneous IoV Networks

  • 引入采样均衡模块,保障各客户端公平参与机会。
  • 在FEMNIST数据集上显著优于基线模型,提升训练公平性。
  • 适合关注隐私保护与公平性的车联网联邦学习研究者。

联邦学习(FL)因其隐私保护特性和降低通信开销的效率,在众多机器学习应用中得到广泛应用,尤其是在车联网(IoV)场景中可更高效地训练模型。由于每轮训练仅部分客户端参与,客户端选择过程中的公平性问题日益突出。尽管学术界和工业界已提出多种联邦学习框架,但目前尚无针对动态异构车联网环境的公平客户端选择方法。为此,本文提出FairEquityFL框架,旨在确保所有客户端在联邦学习训练过程中享有均等的合作机会。具体而言,在选择器组件中引入采样均衡模块,以实现客户端选择的公平性;该选择器还负责监控并控制客户端在每轮训练中的参与情况。此外,通过检测模型性能中准确率或损失最小化出现显著波动的异常客户端,识别潜在恶意客户端,并将其标记后临时暂停参与训练。我们在公开数据集FEMNIST上评估了FairEquityFL的性能,仿真结果表明,其相比基线模型有显著提升。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Federated Learning (FL) has been extensively employed for a number of applications in machine learning, i.e., primarily owing to its privacy preserving nature and efficiency in mitigating the communication overhead. Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is one of the promising applications, wherein FL can be utilized to train a model more efficiently. Since only a subset of the clients can participate in each FL training round, challenges arise pertinent to fairness in the client selection process. Over the years, a number of researchers from both academia and industry have proposed numerous FL frameworks. However, to the best of our knowledge, none of them have employed fairness for FL-based client selection in a dynamic and heterogeneous IoV environment. Accordingly, in this paper, we envisage a FairEquityFL framework to ensure an equitable opportunity for all the clients to participate in the FL training process. In particular, we have introduced a sampling equalizer module within the selector component for ensuring fairness in terms of fair collaboration opportunity for all the clients in the client selection process. The selector is additionally responsible for both monitoring and controlling the clients' participation in each FL training round. Moreover, an outlier detection mechanism is enforced for identifying malicious clients based on the model performance in terms of considerable fluctuation in either accuracy or loss minimization. The selector flags suspicious clients and temporarily suspend such clients from participating in the FL training process. We further evaluate the performance of FairEquityFL on a publicly available dataset, FEMNIST. Our simulation results depict that FairEquityFL outperforms baseline models to a considerable extent.
