面向Non-IID數(shù)據(jù)的聯(lián)邦學(xué)習(xí)分布式訓(xùn)練優(yōu)化方法研究摘要：

聯(lián)邦學(xué)習(xí)（FederatedLearning）是一種新興的機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)技術(shù)，其特點(diǎn)是允許多個(gè)數(shù)據(jù)擁有者共同參與訓(xùn)練一個(gè)機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)模型，而不需要將其原始數(shù)據(jù)集集中存儲(chǔ)在同一個(gè)地方。然而，在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中，由于種種原因，這些參與方所擁有的數(shù)據(jù)往往是Non-IID（非獨(dú)立同分布）的，這就增加了聯(lián)邦學(xué)習(xí)的難度和復(fù)雜度，甚至?xí)?dǎo)致模型的收斂效果減弱。為了解決這一問(wèn)題，本文提出了一種面向Non-IID數(shù)據(jù)的聯(lián)邦學(xué)習(xí)分布式訓(xùn)練優(yōu)化方法，旨在提高模型訓(xùn)練的效率和準(zhǔn)確率。該方法主要包括兩方面的工作：1）數(shù)據(jù)劃分與任務(wù)分配。我們提出了一種基于聚類算法和任務(wù)分配算法的數(shù)據(jù)劃分與任務(wù)分配方案，將參與方的數(shù)據(jù)劃分為多個(gè)質(zhì)量相似、分布相似的數(shù)據(jù)組，有效地降低了Non-IID數(shù)據(jù)對(duì)模型訓(xùn)練的影響；2）模型更新與聚合。我們提出了一種基于局部模型更新和聯(lián)合模型聚合的分布式訓(xùn)練方法，使得每個(gè)參與方在本地訓(xùn)練一個(gè)局部模型，然后將這些局部模型聚合成全局模型，實(shí)現(xiàn)了多方之間的信息交流和協(xié)作。實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果表明，與傳統(tǒng)的聯(lián)邦學(xué)習(xí)方法相比，我們提出的方法可以顯著提高模型的精度和收斂速度，特別是在Non-IID數(shù)據(jù)情況下，更能體現(xiàn)出其優(yōu)越性。
