Federated learning model explores client self-interest and equilibrium transitions

Researchers have developed a potential game framework to model federated learning scenarios where clients act out of self-interest. This model analyzes how clients' rational choices in training efforts, influenced by server rewards, lead to Nash equilibria. The study reveals that these equilibria transition nonlinearly with a critical reward factor, potentially causing a shift between low and high effort levels among clients. The paper also validates the effectiveness of this critical factor in federated learning training. AI

    Nonlinear Equilibrium Transitions in a Potential Game Model for Federated Learning

    arXiv:2411.11793v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In federated learning (FL), a central server typically allocates training efforts to clients. However, from a market-oriented perspective, clients may independently choose their training efforts based on rational self-interest. …
