New algorithm tackles noise in federated learning · 1 source tracked

Researchers have developed a new algorithm called VRA-FedSGD to improve federated learning in scenarios with significant noise. This algorithm is designed to handle both heavy-tailed gradient noise and communication noise, which are common in large-scale machine learning applications, particularly those involving the Internet of Things. VRA-FedSGD utilizes momentum variance reduction and nonlinear mapping techniques to mitigate noise and has demonstrated effective convergence rates in simulations for various objective functions. AI

IMPACT This algorithm could improve the reliability and efficiency of distributed machine learning models in noisy environments.

RANK_REASON The cluster contains an academic paper detailing a new algorithm for federated learning. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=1 ai=1.0]

    Federated learning with heavy-tailed gradient noise and communication noise: a variance-reduction based algorithm

    Federated learning (FL) is an emerging distributed machine learning paradigm that enables local devices to jointly train a global model while keeping data decentralized and private. We propose a variance-reduction based algorithm, VRA-FedSGD, for FL in the presence of heavy-taile…
