ADAPTIVELY ADJUSTING INFLUENCE IN FEDERATED LEARNING MODEL UPDATES

Abstract:

Techniques for improved federated learning are provided. One or more queries are issued to a plurality of participants in a federated learning system, and one or more replies are received from the plurality of participants. A first aggregated model is generated based on the one or more relies and a first influence vector. Upon determining that a predefined criterion is satisfied, a second influence vector modifying a weight of a first participant of the plurality of participants is generated. A second aggregated model is generated based on the one or more replies and the second influence vector.
