When Do Curricula Work in Federated Learning?
Saeed Vahidian, Sreevatsank Kadaveru, Woonjoon Baek +5
An oft-cited open problem of federated learning is the existence of data heterogeneity at the clients. One pathway to understanding the drastic accuracy drop in federated learning…
Neural Routing in Meta Learning
Jicang Cai, Saeed Vahidian, Weijia Wang +2
Meta-learning often referred to as learning-to-learn is a promising notion raised to mimic human learning by exploiting the knowledge of prior tasks but being able to adapt quickly…
Rethinking Data Heterogeneity in Federated Learning: Introducing a New Notion and Standard Benchmarks
Mahdi Morafah, Saeed Vahidian, Chen Chen +2
Though successful, federated learning presents new challenges for machine learning, especially when the issue of data heterogeneity, also known as Non-IID data, arises. To cope wit…
Efficient Distribution Similarity Identification in Clustered Federated Learning via Principal Angles Between Client Data Subspaces
Saeed Vahidian, Mahdi Morafah, Weijia Wang +4
Clustered federated learning (FL) has been shown to produce promising results by grouping clients into clusters. This is especially effective in scenarios where separate groups of…
FLIS: Clustered Federated Learning via Inference Similarity for Non-IID Data Distribution
Mahdi Morafah, Saeed Vahidian, Weijia Wang +1
Classical federated learning approaches yield significant performance degradation in the presence of Non-IID data distributions of participants. When the distribution of each local…
Personalized Federated Learning by Structured and Unstructured Pruning under Data Heterogeneity
Saeed Vahidian, Mahdi Morafah, Bill Lin
The traditional approach in FL tries to learn a single global model collaboratively with the help of many clients under the orchestration of a central server. However, learning a s…
Unsupervised Meta-Learning through Latent-Space Interpolation in Generative Models
Siavash Khodadadeh, Sharare Zehtabian, Saeed Vahidian +3
Unsupervised meta-learning approaches rely on synthetic meta-tasks that are created using techniques such as random selection, clustering and/or augmentation. Unfortunately, cluste…
Coresets for Estimating Means and Mean Square Error with Limited Greedy Samples
Saeed Vahidian, Baharan Mirzasoleiman, Alexander Cloninger
In a number of situations, collecting a function value for every data point may be prohibitively expensive, and random sampling ignores any structure in the underlying data. We int…
