Metaheuristics Algorithm-Based Minimization of Communication Costs in Federated Learning

The Federated learning (FL) technique resolves the issue of training machine learning (ML) techniques on distributed networks, including the huge volume of modern smart devices. FL clients frequently use Wi-Fi and have to interact in unstable network surroundings. However, as the present FL aggregation approaches receive and send a large number of weights, accuracy can be decreased considerably in unstable network surroundings. Therefore, this study presents a Quantum with Metaheuristics Algorithm Based Minimization of Communication Costs in Federated Learning (QMAMCC-FL) technique. The presented QMAMCC-FL technique is designed a federated hybrid convolutional neural network with a gated recurrent unit (HCNN-GRU) model with a quantum Aquila optimization (QAO) algorithm. The QMAMCC-FL technique upgrades the global model via weight collection of the learned model, which is commonly used in FL. The proposed model can be employed to increase the performance of network communication and reduce the size of data transmitted from clients to servers such as smartphones and tablets. The experimental analysis of the QMAMCC-FL approach is tested, and the outcomes show better performance over other existing models.
