Practical Distributed Learning: Secure Machine Learning with Communication-Efficient Local Updates.
Cong Xie, Sanmi Koyejo, Indranil Sen Gupta · 2019
We consider distributed on-device learning with limited communication and security requirements. We propose a new robust distributed optimization algorithm with efficient communication and attack tolerance. The proposed algorithm has provable convergence and robustness under non-IID settings. Empirical results show that the proposed algorithm stabilizes the convergence and tolerates data poisoning on a small number of workers.
