Tackling Selfish Clients in Federated Learning
European Conference on Artificial Intelligence(2024)
Abstract
Federated Learning (FL) is a distributed machine learning paradigm facilitating participants to collaboratively train a model without revealing their local data. However, when FL is deployed into the wild, some intelligent clients can deliberately deviate from the standard training process to make the global model inclined toward their local model, thereby prioritizing their local data distribution. We refer to this novel category of misbehaving clients as selfish. In this paper, we propose a Robust aggregation strategy for FL server to mitigate the effect of Selfishness (in short RFL-Self). RFL-Self incorporates an innovative method to recover (or estimate) the true updates of selfish clients from the received ones, leveraging robust statistics (median of norms) of the updates at every round. By including the recovered updates in aggregation, our strategy offers strong robustness against selfishness. Our experimental results, obtained on MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets, demonstrate that just 2 and RFL-Self can mitigate that effect without degrading the global model performance.
