Abstract
- Due to the distributed data collection and learning in federated learnings, many clients conduct local training with non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) datasets. Accordingly, the training from these datasets results in severe performance degradation. We propose an efficient algorithm for enhancing the performance of federated learning by overcoming the negative effects of non-IID datasets. First, the intra-client class imbalance is reduced by rendering the class distribution of clients close to Uniform distribution. Second, the clients to participate in federated learning are selected to make their integrated class distribution close to Uniform distribution for the purpose of mitigating the inter-client class imbalance, which represents the class distribution difference among clients. In addition, the amount of local training data for the selected clients is finely adjusted. Finally, in order to increase the efficiency of federated learning, the batch size and the learning rate of local training for the selected clients are dynamically controlled reflecting the effective size of the local dataset for each client. In the performance evaluation on CIFAR-10 and MNIST datasets, the proposed algorithm achieves 20% higher accuracy than existing federated learning algorithms. Moreover, in achieving this huge accuracy improvement, the proposed algorithm uses less computation and communication resources compared to existing algorithms in terms of the amount of data used and the number of clients joined in the training.
