However, to accomplish an effective EOD processing mechanism, it is imperative to investigate: 1) the challenge of processing the observed data without transmitting those large-size data to the ground because the connection between the satellites and the ground stations is intermittent, and 2) the challenge of processing the non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) satellite data. In this paper, to cope with those challenges, we propose an orbit-based spectral clustering-assisted clustered federated self-knowledge distillation (OSC-FSKD) approach for each orbit of an LEO satellite constellation, which retains the advantage of FL that the observed data does not need to be sent to the ground. Specifically, we introduce normalized Laplacian-based spectral clustering (NLSC) into federated learning (FL) to create clustered FL in each round to address the challenge resulting from non-IID data. Particularly, NLSC is adopted to dynamically group clients into several clusters based on cosine similarities calculated by model updates. In addition, self-knowledge distillation is utilized to construct each local client, where the most recent updated local model is used to guide current local model training. Experiments demonstrate that the observation accuracy obtained by the proposed method is separately 1.01x, 2.15x, 1.10x, and 1.03x higher than that of pFedSD, FedProx, FedAU, and FedALA approaches using the SAT4 dataset. The proposed method also shows superiority when using other datasets. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2410.13602v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2410.13602v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 18 October, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 17 October, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> October 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">10 pages, 5 figures</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.13260">arXiv:2410.13260</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.13260">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2410.13260">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Cryptography and Security">cs.CR</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Cyber Attacks Prevention Towards Prosumer-based EV Charging Stations: An Edge-assisted Federated Prototype Knowledge Distillation Approach </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Zou%2C+L">Luyao Zou</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Vo%2C+Q+H">Quang Hieu Vo</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Kim%2C+K">Kitae Kim</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Le%2C+H+Q">Huy Q.

To establish an effective prevention mechanism, several challenges need to be tackled, for instance, the NT data per prosumer may be non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID), and the boundary between benign and malicious traffic becomes blurred. To this end, we propose an edge-assisted federated prototype knowledge distillation (E-FPKD) approach, where each client is deployed on a dedicated local edge server (DLES) and can report its availability for joining the federated learning (FL) process. Prior to the E-FPKD approach, to enhance accuracy, the Pearson Correlation Coefficient is adopted for feature selection. Regarding the proposed E-FPKD approach, we integrate the knowledge distillation and prototype aggregation technique into FL to deal with the non-IID challenge. To address the boundary issue, instead of directly calculating the distance between benign and malicious traffic, we consider maximizing the overall detection correctness of all prosumers (ODC), which can mitigate the computational cost compared with the former way. After detection, a rule-based method will be triggered at each DLES for cyber-attack intervention. Experimental analysis demonstrates that the proposed E-FPKD can achieve the largest ODC on NSL-KDD, UNSW-NB15, and IoTID20 datasets in both binary and multi-class classification, compared with baselines. For instance, the ODC for IoTID20 obtained via the proposed method is separately 0.3782% and 4.4471% greater than FedProto and FedAU in multi-class classification. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2410.13260v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2410.13260v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 18 October, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 17 October, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> October 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">27 pages, 12 figures</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.15426">arXiv:2407.15426</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2407.15426">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2407.15426">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Machine Learning">cs.LG</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Resource-Efficient Federated Multimodal Learning via Layer-wise and Progressive Training </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Tun%2C+Y+L">Ye Lin Tun</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Thwal%2C+C+M">Chu Myaet Thwal</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Nguyen%2C+M+N+H">Minh N.

To harness multimodal data closer to end users, it is essential to integrate multimodal learning with privacy-preserving approaches like federated learning (FL). However, compared to conventional unimodal learning, multimodal setting requires dedicated encoders for each modality, resulting in larger and more complex models. Training these models requires significant resources, presenting a substantial challenge for FL clients operating with limited computation and communication resources. To address these challenges, we introduce LW-FedMML, a layer-wise federated multimodal learning approach which decomposes the training process into multiple stages. Each stage focuses on training only a portion of the model, thereby significantly reducing the memory and computational requirements. Moreover, FL clients only need to exchange the trained model portion with the central server, lowering the resulting communication cost. We conduct extensive experiments across various FL and multimodal learning settings to validate the effectiveness of our proposed method. The results demonstrate that LW-FedMML can compete with conventional end-to-end federated multimodal learning (FedMML) while significantly reducing the resource burden on FL clients. Specifically, LW-FedMML reduces memory usage by up to $2.7\times$, computational operations (FLOPs) by $2.4\times$, and total communication cost by $2.3\times$. We also explore a progressive training approach called Prog-FedMML. While it offers lesser resource efficiency than LW-FedMML, Prog-FedMML has the potential to surpass the performance of end-to-end FedMML, making it a viable option for scenarios with fewer resource constraints. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2407.15426v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2407.15426v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 20 October, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 22 July, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2024. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.06638">arXiv:2402.06638</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.06638">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2402.06638">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Statistical Finance">q-fin.ST</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Artificial Intelligence">cs.AI</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Distributed, Parallel, and Cluster Computing">cs.DC</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Machine Learning">cs.LG</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1109/ICOIN56518.2023.10048928">10.1109/ICOIN56518.2023.10048928 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Transformers with Attentive Federated Aggregation for Time Series Stock Forecasting </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Thwal%2C+C+M">Chu Myaet Thwal</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Tun%2C+Y+L">Ye Lin Tun</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Kim%2C+K">Kitae Kim</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Park%2C+S">Seong-Bae Park</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Hong%2C+C+S">Choong Seon Hong</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2402.06638v1-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> Recent innovations in transformers have shown their superior performance in natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision (CV).

The ability to capture long-range dependencies and interactions in sequential data has also triggered a great interest in time series modeling, leading to the widespread use of transformers in many time series applications. However, being the most common and crucial application, the adaptation of transformers to time series forecasting has remained limited, with both promising and inconsistent results. In contrast to the challenges in NLP and CV, time series problems not only add the complexity of order or temporal dependence among input sequences but also consider trend, level, and seasonality information that much of this data is valuable for decision making. The conventional training scheme has shown deficiencies regarding model overfitting, data scarcity, and privacy issues when working with transformers for a forecasting task. In this work, we propose attentive federated transformers for time series stock forecasting with better performance while preserving the privacy of participating enterprises. Empirical results on various stock data from the Yahoo! Finance website indicate the superiority of our proposed scheme in dealing with the above challenges and data heterogeneity in federated learning. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2402.06638v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2402.06638v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 22 January, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> February 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Published in IEEE ICOIN 2023</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.13898">arXiv:2401.13898</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.13898">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2401.13898">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Machine Learning">cs.LG</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Cross-Modal Prototype based Multimodal Federated Learning under Severely Missing Modality </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Le%2C+H+Q">Huy Q.

However, challenges, such as data heterogeneity and severely missing modalities, pose crucial hindrances to the robustness of MFL, significantly impacting the performance of global model. The absence of a modality introduces misalignment during the local training phase, stemming from zero-filling in the case of clients with missing modalities. Consequently, achieving robust generalization in global model becomes imperative, especially when dealing with clients that have incomplete data. In this paper, we propose Multimodal Federated Cross Prototype Learning (MFCPL), a novel approach for MFL under severely missing modalities by conducting the complete prototypes to provide diverse modality knowledge in modality-shared level with the cross-modal regularization and modality-specific level with cross-modal contrastive mechanism. Additionally, our approach introduces the cross-modal alignment to provide regularization for modality-specific features, thereby enhancing overall performance, particularly in scenarios involving severely missing modalities. Through extensive experiments on three multimodal datasets, we demonstrate the effectiveness of MFCPL in mitigating these challenges and improving the overall performance. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2401.13898v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2401.13898v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 24 January, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">12 pages, 8 figures, 5 tables</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.11736">arXiv:2401.11736</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.11736">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2401.11736">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Machine Learning">cs.LG</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Artificial Intelligence">cs.AI</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1109/BigComp51126.2021.00035">10.1109/BigComp51126.2021.00035 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Attention on Personalized Clinical Decision Support System: Federated Learning Approach </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Thwal%2C+C+M">Chu Myaet Thwal</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Thar%2C+K">Kyi Thar</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Tun%2C+Y+L">Ye Lin Tun</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Hong%2C+C+S">Choong Seon Hong</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2401.11736v1-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> Health management has become a primary problem as new kinds of diseases and complex symptoms are introduced to a rapidly growing modern society.

Building a better and smarter healthcare infrastructure is one of the ultimate goals of a smart city. To the best of our knowledge, neural network models are already employed to assist healthcare professionals in achieving this goal. Typically, training a neural network requires a rich amount of data but heterogeneous and vulnerable properties of clinical data introduce a challenge for the traditional centralized network. Moreover, adding new inputs to a medical database requires re-training an existing model from scratch. To tackle these challenges, we proposed a deep learning-based clinical decision support system trained and managed under a federated learning paradigm. We focused on a novel strategy to guarantee the safety of patient privacy and overcome the risk of cyberattacks while enabling large-scale clinical data mining. As a result, we can leverage rich clinical data for training each local neural network without the need for exchanging the confidential data of patients. Moreover, we implemented the proposed scheme as a sequence-to-sequence model architecture integrating the attention mechanism. Thus, our objective is to provide a personalized clinical decision support system with evolvable characteristics that can deliver accurate solutions and assist healthcare professionals in medical diagnosing. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2401.11736v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2401.11736v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 22 January, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Published in IEEE BigComp 2021</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.11652">arXiv:2401.11652</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.11652">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2401.11652">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition">cs.CV</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Machine Learning">cs.LG</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neunet.2023.11.044">10.1016/j.neunet.2023.11.044 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> OnDev-LCT: On-Device Lightweight Convolutional Transformers towards federated learning </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Thwal%2C+C+M">Chu Myaet Thwal</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Nguyen%2C+M+N+H">Minh N.

The success of FL hinges on the efficiency of participating models and their ability to handle the unique challenges of distributed learning. While several variants of Vision Transformer (ViT) have shown great potential as alternatives to modern convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for centralized training, the unprecedented size and higher computational demands hinder their deployment on resource-constrained edge devices, challenging their widespread application in FL. Since client devices in FL typically have limited computing resources and communication bandwidth, models intended for such devices must strike a balance between model size, computational efficiency, and the ability to adapt to the diverse and non-IID data distributions encountered in FL. To address these challenges, we propose OnDev-LCT: Lightweight Convolutional Transformers for On-Device vision tasks with limited training data and resources. Our models incorporate image-specific inductive biases through the LCT tokenizer by leveraging efficient depthwise separable convolutions in residual linear bottleneck blocks to extract local features, while the multi-head self-attention (MHSA) mechanism in the LCT encoder implicitly facilitates capturing global representations of images. Extensive experiments on benchmark image datasets indicate that our models outperform existing lightweight vision models while having fewer parameters and lower computational demands, making them suitable for FL scenarios with data heterogeneity and communication bottlenecks. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2401.11652v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2401.11652v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 21 January, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Published in Neural Networks</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.11647">arXiv:2401.11647</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.11647">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2401.11647">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Machine Learning">cs.LG</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Artificial Intelligence">cs.AI</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> LW-FedSSL: Resource-efficient Layer-wise Federated Self-supervised Learning </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Tun%2C+Y+L">Ye Lin Tun</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Thwal%2C+C+M">Chu Myaet Thwal</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Huy%2C+L+Q">Le Quang Huy</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Nguyen%2C+M+N+H">Minh N.

However, edge devices often struggle with high computation and communication costs imposed by SSL and FL algorithms. To tackle this hindrance, we propose LW-FedSSL, a layer-wise federated self-supervised learning approach that allows edge devices to incrementally train a single layer of the model at a time. We introduce server-side calibration and representation alignment mechanisms to ensure LW-FedSSL delivers performance on par with conventional federated self-supervised learning (FedSSL) while significantly lowering resource demands. In a pure layer-wise training scheme, training one layer at a time may limit effective interaction between different layers of the model. The server-side calibration mechanism takes advantage of the resource-rich FL server to ensure smooth collaboration between different layers of the global model. During local training, the representation alignment mechanism encourages closeness between representations of local models and those of the global model, thereby preserving the layer cohesion established by server-side calibration. With the proposed mechanisms, LW-FedSSL achieves a $3.3 \times$ reduction in memory usage, $2.1 \times$ fewer computational operations (FLOPs), and a $3.2 \times$ lower communication cost while maintaining the same level of performance as its end-to-end training counterpart. Additionally, we explore a progressive training strategy called Prog-FedSSL, which matches end-to-end training in memory requirements but offers a $1.8 \times$ reduction in FLOPs and communication costs. Although Prog-FedSSL is not as resource-efficient as LW-FedSSL, its performance improvements make it a suitable candidate for FL environments with more lenient resource constraints. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2401.11647v3-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2401.11647v3-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 20 October, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 21 January, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2024. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.16538">arXiv:2311.16538</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.16538">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2311.16538">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Machine Learning">cs.LG</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Cryptography and Security">cs.CR</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Federated Learning with Diffusion Models for Privacy-Sensitive Vision Tasks </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Tun%2C+Y+L">Ye Lin Tun</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Thwal%2C+C+M">Chu Myaet Thwal</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Yoon%2C+J+S">Ji Su Yoon</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Kang%2C+S+M">Sun Moo Kang</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Zhang%2C+C">Chaoning Zhang</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Hong%2C+C+S">Choong Seon Hong</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2311.16538v1-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> Diffusion models have shown great potential for vision-related tasks, particularly for image generation.

This approach may not be feasible or practical in many domains, such as the medical field, which involves privacy concerns over data collection. Despite the challenges associated with privacy-sensitive data, such domains could still benefit from valuable vision services provided by diffusion models. Federated learning (FL) plays a crucial role in enabling decentralized model training without compromising data privacy. Instead of collecting data, an FL system gathers model parameters, effectively safeguarding the private data of different parties involved. This makes FL systems vital for managing decentralized learning tasks, especially in scenarios where privacy-sensitive data is distributed across a network of clients. Nonetheless, FL presents its own set of challenges due to its distributed nature and privacy-preserving properties. Therefore, in this study, we explore the FL strategy to train diffusion models, paving the way for the development of federated diffusion models. We conduct experiments on various FL scenarios, and our findings demonstrate that federated diffusion models have great potential to deliver vision services to privacy-sensitive domains. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2311.16538v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2311.16538v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 28 November, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2023. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.16535">arXiv:2311.16535</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.16535">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2311.16535">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Machine Learning">cs.LG</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Distributed, Parallel, and Cluster Computing">cs.DC</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neunet.2023.06.010">10.1016/j.neunet.2023.06.010 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Contrastive encoder pre-training-based clustered federated learning for heterogeneous data </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Tun%2C+Y+L">Ye Lin Tun</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Nguyen%2C+M+N+H">Minh N.

However, FL often suffers from data heterogeneity problems, which can significantly affect its performance. To address this, clustered federated learning (CFL) has been proposed to construct personalized models for different client clusters. One effective client clustering strategy is to allow clients to choose their own local models from a model pool based on their performance. However, without pre-trained model parameters, such a strategy is prone to clustering failure, in which all clients choose the same model. Unfortunately, collecting a large amount of labeled data for pre-training can be costly and impractical in distributed environments. To overcome this challenge, we leverage self-supervised contrastive learning to exploit unlabeled data for the pre-training of FL systems. Together, self-supervised pre-training and client clustering can be crucial components for tackling the data heterogeneity issues of FL. Leveraging these two crucial strategies, we propose contrastive pre-training-based clustered federated learning (CP-CFL) to improve the model convergence and overall performance of FL systems. In this work, we demonstrate the effectiveness of CP-CFL through extensive experiments in heterogeneous FL settings, and present various interesting observations. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2311.16535v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2311.16535v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 28 November, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2023. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Published in Neural Networks</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.13214">arXiv:2307.13214</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.13214">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2307.13214">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Machine Learning">cs.LG</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Artificial Intelligence">cs.AI</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> FedMEKT: Distillation-based Embedding Knowledge Transfer for Multimodal Federated Learning </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Le%2C+H+Q">Huy Q.

Most existing works simply propose typical FL systems for single-modal data, thus limiting its potential on exploiting valuable multimodal data for future personalized applications. Furthermore, the majority of FL approaches still rely on the labeled data at the client side, which is limited in real-world applications due to the inability of self-annotation from users. In light of these limitations, we propose a novel multimodal FL framework that employs a semi-supervised learning approach to leverage the representations from different modalities. Bringing this concept into a system, we develop a distillation-based multimodal embedding knowledge transfer mechanism, namely FedMEKT, which allows the server and clients to exchange the joint knowledge of their learning models extracted from a small multimodal proxy dataset. Our FedMEKT iteratively updates the generalized global encoders with the joint embedding knowledge from the participating clients. Thereby, to address the modality discrepancy and labeled data constraint in existing FL systems, our proposed FedMEKT comprises local multimodal autoencoder learning, generalized multimodal autoencoder construction, and generalized classifier learning. Through extensive experiments on three multimodal human activity recognition datasets, we demonstrate that FedMEKT achieves superior global encoder performance on linear evaluation and guarantees user privacy for personal data and model parameters while demanding less communication cost than other baselines. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2307.13214v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2307.13214v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 6 November, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 24 July, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2023. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.11717">arXiv:2303.11717</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.11717">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2303.11717">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Artificial Intelligence">cs.AI</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition">cs.CV</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Machine Learning">cs.LG</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Multimedia">cs.MM</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> A Complete Survey on Generative AI (AIGC): Is ChatGPT from GPT-4 to GPT-5 All You Need? </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Zhang%2C+C">Chaoning Zhang</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Zhang%2C+C">Chenshuang Zhang</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Zheng%2C+S">Sheng Zheng</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Qiao%2C+Y">Yu Qiao</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Li%2C+C">Chenghao Li</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Zhang%2C+M">Mengchun Zhang</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Dam%2C+S+K">Sumit Kumar Dam</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Thwal%2C+C+M">Chu Myaet Thwal</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Tun%2C+Y+L">Ye Lin Tun</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Huy%2C+L+L">Le Luang Huy</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=kim%2C+D">Donguk kim</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Bae%2C+S">Sung-Ho Bae</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Lee%2C+L">Lik-Hang Lee</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Yang%2C+Y">Yang Yang</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Shen%2C+H+T">Heng Tao Shen</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Kweon%2C+I+S">In So Kweon</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Hong%2C+C+S">Choong Seon Hong</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2303.11717v1-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> As ChatGPT goes viral, generative AI (AIGC, a.k.a AI-generated content) has made headlines everywhere because of its ability to analyze and create text, images, and beyond.

With such overwhelming media coverage, it is almost impossible for us to miss the opportunity to glimpse AIGC from a certain angle. In the era of AI transitioning from pure analysis to creation, it is worth noting that ChatGPT, with its most recent language model GPT-4, is just a tool out of numerous AIGC tasks. Impressed by the capability of the ChatGPT, many people are wondering about its limits: can GPT-5 (or other future GPT variants) help ChatGPT unify all AIGC tasks for diversified content creation? Toward answering this question, a comprehensive review of existing AIGC tasks is needed. As such, our work comes to fill this gap promptly by offering a first look at AIGC, ranging from its techniques to applications. Modern generative AI relies on various technical foundations, ranging from model architecture and self-supervised pretraining to generative modeling methods (like GAN and diffusion models). After introducing the fundamental techniques, this work focuses on the technological development of various AIGC tasks based on their output type, including text, images, videos, 3D content, etc., which depicts the full potential of ChatGPT's future. Moreover, we summarize their significant applications in some mainstream industries, such as education and creativity content. Finally, we discuss the challenges currently faced and present an outlook on how generative AI might evolve in the near future. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2303.11717v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2303.11717v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 21 March, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2023. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">56 pages, 548 citations</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.15850">arXiv:2210.15850</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.15850">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2210.15850">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Machine Learning">cs.LG</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Signal Processing">eess.SP</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1109/BigComp51126.2021.00039">10.1109/BigComp51126.2021.00039 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Federated Learning based Energy Demand Prediction with Clustered Aggregation </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Tun%2C+Y+L">Ye Lin Tun</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Thar%2C+K">Kyi Thar</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Thwal%2C+C+M">Chu Myaet Thwal</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Hong%2C+C+S">Choong Seon Hong</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2210.15850v1-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> To reduce negative environmental impacts, power stations and energy grids need to optimize the resources required for power production.

Thus, predicting the energy consumption of clients is becoming an important part of every energy management system. Energy usage information collected by the clients' smart homes can be used to train a deep neural network to predict the future energy demand. Collecting data from a large number of distributed clients for centralized model training is expensive in terms of communication resources. To take advantage of distributed data in edge systems, centralized training can be replaced by federated learning where each client only needs to upload model updates produced by training on its local data. These model updates are aggregated into a single global model by the server. But since different clients can have different attributes, model updates can have diverse weights and as a result, it can take a long time for the aggregated global model to converge. To speed up the convergence process, we can apply clustering to group clients based on their properties and aggregate model updates from the same cluster together to produce a cluster specific global model. In this paper, we propose a recurrent neural network based energy demand predictor, trained with federated learning on clustered clients to take advantage of distributed data and speed up the convergence process. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2210.15850v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2210.15850v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 27 October, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> October 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Accepted by BigComp 2021</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.15827">arXiv:2210.15827</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.15827">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2210.15827">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Machine Learning">cs.LG</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Artificial Intelligence">cs.AI</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1109/BigComp57234.2023.00017">10.1109/BigComp57234.2023.00017 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Federated Learning with Intermediate Representation Regularization </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Tun%2C+Y+L">Ye Lin Tun</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Thwal%2C+C+M">Chu Myaet Thwal</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Park%2C+Y+M">Yu Min Park</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Park%2C+S">Seong-Bae Park</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&query=Hong%2C+C+S">Choong Seon Hong</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2210.15827v2-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> In contrast to centralized model training that involves data collection, federated learning (FL) enables remote clients to collaboratively train a model without exposing their private data.

However, model performance usually degrades in FL due to the heterogeneous data generated by clients of diverse characteristics. One promising strategy to maintain good performance is by limiting the local training from drifting far away from the global model. Previous studies accomplish this by regularizing the distance between the representations learned by the local and global models. However, they only consider representations from the early layers of a model or the layer preceding the output layer. In this study, we introduce FedIntR, which provides a more fine-grained regularization by integrating the representations of intermediate layers into the local training process. Specifically, FedIntR computes a regularization term that encourages the closeness between the intermediate layer representations of the local and global models. Additionally, FedIntR automatically determines the contribution of each layer's representation to the regularization term based on the similarity between local and global representations. We conduct extensive experiments on various datasets to show that FedIntR can achieve equivalent or higher performance compared to the state-of-the-art approaches.
