Research

Heterogeneous Federated Learning

When heterogeneous devices collaborate in a federated learning setting, challenges arise in data distribution, model convergence, and communication efficiency. We address these challenges by proposing novel algorithms and frameworks that improve the performance and robustness of federated learning systems in heterogeneous environments.

Data and system heterogeneity Communication-efficient federated learning

Personalized Federated Learning for Multi-domain Dataset

One of the critical challenges in federated learning is the presence of multiple data domains across clients. We propose a personalized federated learning framework that adapts to the unique characteristics of each domain while leveraging shared knowledge across them. This approach enhances model performance and robustness in multi-domain scenarios and further provides personalized models tailored to individual clients.

Convergence of Federated Learning system and Communication system

To enable collaboration without exchanging local data, frequent communication between participants is essential. We investigate the interplay between federated learning systems and communication networks, focusing on the fundamental problem of jointly optimizing both. Our approach develops integrated strategies that account for the dynamics of federated learning and the characteristics of communication networks, enabling efficient training of high-quality models.
