Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Federated learning (FL) is a machine learning setting where many mobile devices collaboratively train a machine learning (ML) model, while keeping the training data decentralized. In FL, each device updates a model with his/her data and uploads the model to a server which aggregates the models instead of uploading the training data to the server.Thus, the traffic for uploading the model is not negligible.This paper proposes a cooperative learning method, called Distillation Based Semi-Supervised Federated Learning (DS-FL), which aims to reduce traffic required for training the ML model. In DS-FL, non-labeled open data is used for the cooperative model training via semi-supervised learning.Each device trains a model with his/her data, predicts logits for the open data, and updates the model with the open data and aggregated logits. Since the data size of the logits is much smaller than that of the models, traffic is reduced largely. We evaluate our method using an image classification task (MNIST). Our experiments show that the proposed method achieves 94% less traffic than that of the previous method.
