FedPURIN: Programmed Update and Reduced INformation for Sparse Personalized Federated Learning

  • 用整数规划识别需传输的关键参数,实现精准稀疏化更新。
  • 在非独立同分布数据下,通信量减少显著且模型性能不降。
  • 适合边缘智能中数据异构场景,提升实际部署效率。

个性化联邦学习(PFL)是应对分布式客户端间数据异构性的关键研究方向。新型模型架构与协作机制被设计用于适应统计差异并生成客户端专属模型。参数解耦为保持PFL框架下模型性能提供了有前景的范式。然而,许多现有方法的通信效率仍不理想,导致沉重的通信负担,阻碍实际应用。为此,我们提出联邦学习中的编程更新与信息压缩(FedPURIN)框架,通过整数规划策略有选择地识别关键参数进行传输。该数学基础的方法无缝融入稀疏聚合方案,在保持性能的同时实现显著通信减少。在多种非独立同分布条件下的标准图像分类基准上,实验结果表明其性能媲美当前最优方法,并通过稀疏聚合实现了可量化的通信降低。该框架为通信高效的个性化联邦学习建立了新范式,尤其适用于异构数据源的边缘智能系统。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Personalized Federated Learning (PFL) has emerged as a critical research frontier addressing data heterogeneity issue across distributed clients. Novel model architectures and collaboration mechanisms are engineered to accommodate statistical disparities while producing client-specific models. Parameter decoupling represents a promising paradigm for maintaining model performance in PFL frameworks. However, the communication efficiency of many existing methods remains suboptimal, sustaining substantial communication burdens that impede practical deployment. To bridge this gap, we propose Federated Learning with Programmed Update and Reduced INformation (FedPURIN), a novel framework that strategically identifies critical parameters for transmission through an integer programming formulation. This mathematically grounded strategy is seamlessly integrated into a sparse aggregation scheme, achieving a significant communication reduction while preserving the efficacy. Comprehensive evaluations on standard image classification benchmarks under varied non-IID conditions demonstrate competitive performance relative to state-of-the-art methods, coupled with quantifiable communication reduction through sparse aggregation. The framework establishes a new paradigm for communication-efficient PFL, particularly advantageous for edge intelligence systems operating with heterogeneous data sources.
