Deep Unfolding-based Weighted Averaging for Federated Learning under Heterogeneous Environments
share
Federated learning is a collaborative model training method by iterating model updates at multiple clients and aggregation of the updates at a central server. Device and statistical heterogeneity of the participating clients cause performance degradation so that an appropriate weight should be assigned per client in the server's aggregation phase. This paper employs deep unfolding to learn the weights that adapt to the heterogeneity, which gives the model with high accuracy on uniform test data. The results of numerical experiments indicate the high performance of the proposed method and the interpretable behavior of the learned weights.
