摘要
Due to the remarkable performance in preserving data privacy for decentralized data scenarios, Federated Learning (FL) has been considered as a promising distributed machine learning paradigm to deal with data silos problems. Typically, conventional FL approaches adopts a one-to-multi training scheme, where the cloud server keeps only one single global model for all the involved clients for the purpose of model aggregation. However, this scheme suffers from inferior classification performance, since only one global model cannot always accommodate all the incompatible convergence directions of local models, resulting in a low convergence rate and classification accuracy. To address this issue, this paper presents an efficient FL framework named FedCross, which adopts a novel multi-to-multi FL training scheme based on our proposed similarity-based multi-model cross aggregation method. Unlike traditional FL methods, in each round of FL training, FedCross uses a small set of distinct intermediate models to conduct weighted fusion under the guidance of model similarities. In this way, the intermediate models used by FedCross can sufficiently respect the convergence characteristics of clients, thus leading to much fewer conflicts in tuning the convergence directions of clients. Finally, in the deployment stage, FedCross forms a global model for all the clients by performing the federated averaging on the trained immediate models.
