论文摘要
个性化联合学习（FL）是佛罗里达州的一个新兴研究领域，在客户之间存在数据异质性的情况下，可以学习一个易于适应的全球模型。但是，个性化FL的主要挑战之一是非常依赖客户的计算资源来计算高阶梯度，因为客户数据与服务器隔离以确保隐私。为了解决这个问题，我们专注于服务器可以独立于客户数据独立于客户数据的问题设置，这是各种应用程序中普遍的问题设置，但在现有文献中相对尚未探索。具体来说，我们提出了一种用于个性化FL的新方法FedSim，该方法积极利用此类服务器数据来改善服务器中的元梯度计算以提高个性化性能。在实验上，我们通过各种基准和消融证明了FEDSIM在准确性方面优于现有方法，通过计算服务器中的完整元梯度，在计算上更有效，并快速收敛34.2％。
Personalized Federated Learning (FL) is an emerging research field in FL that learns an easily adaptable global model in the presence of data heterogeneity among clients. However, one of the main challenges for personalized FL is the heavy reliance on clients' computing resources to calculate higher-order gradients since client data is segregated from the server to ensure privacy. To resolve this, we focus on a problem setting where the server may possess its own data independent of clients' data -- a prevalent problem setting in various applications, yet relatively unexplored in existing literature. Specifically, we propose FedSIM, a new method for personalized FL that actively utilizes such server data to improve meta-gradient calculation in the server for increased personalization performance. Experimentally, we demonstrate through various benchmarks and ablations that FedSIM is superior to existing methods in terms of accuracy, more computationally efficient by calculating the full meta-gradients in the server, and converges up to 34.2% faster.
