FedAvg Algorithm Explores Personalization vs. Generalization in HAR

This paper explores the effectiveness of the FedAvg algorithm in the Human Activity Recognition (HAR) domain, focusing on the balance between personalized and generalized accuracy in federated learning. Researchers designed and implemented various testing scenarios to compare centralized, local, and federated learning paradigms, including a simulation of changing client data. The experimental results indicate that FedAvg offers better personalization while maintaining strong generalization compared to traditional centralized learning, though this advantage diminishes under challenging conditions like varying class distributions across clients. AI

IMPACT This research explores trade-offs in federated learning for activity recognition, potentially informing more privacy-preserving and personalized AI systems.
