TL;DR

A weighted Federated Averaging aggregation scheme which aims to highlight the potential benefits of positively weighing clients who contain more homogeneous data and the preliminary results exhibit that when clients with more homogeneous data are weighed higher, the global model can achieve better performance, but that a sufficiently complex FL task is needed for these effects to be more prevalent.

Client and Training Data Selection for Computationally Efficient Synchronized Federated Learning

Federated learning (FL) is a promising paradigm of machine learning, which preserves user privacy by enabling learning without sharing raw data with a cloud server. Straggling clients have been a problem for FL as they introduce delays in aggregating the local models and hence, the convergence of the global model. Ther...
