  • 设计多路径更新机制,隔离不同客户端的模型训练
  • 34种场景验证,能准确处理永久、临时和重叠冲突
  • 服务器开销极低,适合实际大规模部署

联邦学习通常假设无条件协作,忽略了现实中多利益相关方环境中客户可能因战略、监管或竞争原因需相互排除。本文将此问题称为‘客户端级分歧’,首先提出一个分类体系,并提出一种稳健的多轨道解决策略。该策略通过创建和管理独立的模型更新路径(‘轨道’),严格实现客户端排除,避免交叉污染和不公平问题。在基于MNIST和N-CMAPSS数据集的自定义模拟系统上,对34种场景进行实证评估,结果表明该方法可正确处理永久性、临时性和重叠性分歧模式。可扩展性分析显示,服务器端解析算法每轮开销低于1毫秒,即使在高负载下也几乎可忽略。主要可扩展性瓶颈来自客户端参与多轨道带来的训练负担,但通过子模型复用策略可有效缓解。本工作提出一种可扩展且架构合理的客户端分歧管理方法,显著提升联邦学习在政策合规与战略控制至关重要的场景中的实用性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Federated Learning (FL) typically assumes unconditional collaboration, a premise that overlooks the complexities of real-world, multi-stakeholder environments in which clients may need to exclude one another for strategic, regulatory, or competitive reasons. This paper addresses this gap, which we term 'client-level disagreements,' by first introducing a taxonomy of such scenarios. We then propose a robust, multi-track resolution strategy that guarantees strict client exclusion by creating and managing isolated model update paths ('tracks'), thereby preventing the cross-contamination and unfairness issues present in naive strategies. Through an empirical evaluation of our custom simulation system across 34 scenarios using the MNIST and N-CMAPSS datasets, we validate that our approach correctly handles permanent, temporal, and overlapping disagreement patterns. Our scalability analysis reveals the server-side resolution algorithm's overhead is negligible (<1 ms per round) even under heavy load. The primary scalability constraint is the client-side training load from participating in multiple tracks, a cost that we show can be effectively mitigated by a submodel reuse strategy. This work presents a scalable and architecturally sound method for managing client-level disagreements, and enhances the practical applicability of FL in settings where policy compliance and strategic control are non-negotiable.
