Privacy and Efficiency in Federated Learning: A Comprehensive Review

Privacy and Efficiency in Federated Learning: A Comprehensive Review

In recent years, federated learning has gained significant attention due to its ability to train machine learning models on distributed data without compromising data privacy. However, the traditional utility-privacy trade-off in federated learning often leads to suboptimal solutions that prioritize one aspect over the other. To address this issue, this paper proposes a new method called efficiency constrained utility-privacy bi-objective optimization in federated learning.
The proposed method considers both efficiency and privacy as equally important objectives and aims to find a balance between them. The authors propose a novel optimization algorithm that incorporates efficiency constraints to ensure the solution is efficient while maintaining privacy. They also introduce a new metric called the "efficient privacy loss" to measure the trade-off between efficiency and privacy.
The proposed method is evaluated on several real-world datasets and shows improved performance compared to existing methods. The authors demonstrate that their approach can find a better balance between efficiency and privacy, leading to more accurate model training while protecting sensitive information.

Conclusion: In this paper, the authors propose a novel optimization algorithm for federated learning that considers both efficiency and privacy as equally important objectives. By incorporating efficiency constraints and introducing a new metric called efficient privacy loss, the proposed method achieves a better balance between these two aspects. The results show that the proposed method outperforms existing methods in terms of accuracy while maintaining privacy. This work has significant implications for real-world applications where data privacy is critical, such as medical research or financial transactions.
