Federated Learning

This is partly the reproduction of the paper of Communication-Efficient Learning of Deep Networks from Decentralized Data
Only experiments on MNIST and CIFAR10 (both IID and non-IID) is produced by far.

Note: The scripts will be slow without the implementation of parallel computing.

Requirements

python>=3.6
pytorch>=0.4

Run

The MLP and CNN models are produced by:

python main_nn.py

Federated learning with MLP and CNN is produced by:

python main_fed.py

See the arguments in options.py.

For example:

python main_fed.py --dataset mnist --iid --num_channels 1 --model cnn --epochs 50 --gpu 0

--all_clients for averaging over all client models

NB: for CIFAR-10, num_channels must be 3.

Results

MNIST

Results are shown in Table 1 and Table 2, with the parameters C=0.1, B=10, E=5.

Table 1. results of 10 epochs training with the learning rate of 0.01

Model	Acc. of IID	Acc. of Non-IID
FedAVG-MLP	94.57%	70.44%
FedAVG-CNN	96.59%	77.72%

Table 2. results of 50 epochs training with the learning rate of 0.01

Model	Acc. of IID	Acc. of Non-IID
FedAVG-MLP	97.21%	93.03%
FedAVG-CNN	98.60%	93.81%
