Efficient Model Training in Decentralized Systems with Federated Learning

In the fast-changing field of machine learning, data privacy and model training efficiency are crucial. Federated Learning (FL) is a breakthrough method for training models on several decentralized devices or servers without centralizing raw data. This study examines Federated Learning's challenges in optimizing model training in dispersed systems. The first stage is to examine the Federated Learning (FL) framework and its merits, particularly in protecting data privacy and reducing server dependence. The next section will discuss communication overhead, stragglers, and non-IID (independent and identically distributed) data issues in a decentralized training model. We developed novel optimization methodologies and adaptive algorithms to improve Federated Learning (FL) efficiency. This includes updating asynchronous models, adaptability-based communication frequency, and non-IID data management. We also present a resilient aggregation method that mitigates Byzantine failures in participating nodes. We demonstrate that our methods improve convergence rate, communication costs, and model performance trained with Federated Learning (FL) by conducting a series of comprehensive experiments and analyzing real-world case studies. We show that these enhancements do not compromise data privacy, preserving Federated Learning (FL) principles. In conclusion, this study advances Federated Learning in decentralized systems. In an age of data sensitivity, this approach could help implement efficient, scalable, and privacy-preserving machine-learning methods.
