Federated Regression Ambiguity Solved with Natural Selection Rule

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A new research paper analyzes the complexities of federated averaging in multivariate regression, particularly when multiple optimal "heads" can be chosen by clients. The study proposes a natural selection rule where clients return the head closest to the broadcast head, which can be achieved through global minimization with a vanishing proximal penalty. The research demonstrates that under certain conditions, the shared Gram matrix converges to the Bures-Wasserstein barycenter of client Gram matrices, and a correction mechanism can recover the centralized optimal Gram matrix.

    Understanding Head Geometry and Dynamics in Federated Regression through a Natural Solution Selection Rule: An Unconstrained Feature Model Analysis

    In federated averaging, local objectives can admit multiple optimal heads, making the aggregate depend on which heads clients return. We study this ambiguity in federated multivariate regression with private backbones and a shared linear head, using an unconstrained feature model…
