Abstract The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) applications has raised significant concerns about user privacy, prompting the development of privacy-preserving machine learning (ML) paradigms such as federated learning (FL). FL enables the distributed training of ML models, keeping data on local devices and thus addressing the privacy concerns of users. However, challenges arise from the heterogeneous nature of mobile client devices, partial engagement of training, and non-independent identically distributed (non-IID) data distribution, leading to performance degradation and optimization objective bias in FL training. With the development of 5G/6G networks and the integration of cloud computing… More >

Abstract Sharing data while protecting privacy in the industrial Internet is a significant challenge. Traditional machine learning methods require a combination of all data for training; however, this approach can be limited by data availability and privacy concerns. Federated learning (FL) has gained considerable attention because it allows for decentralized training on multiple local datasets. However, the training data collected by data providers are often non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID), resulting in poor FL performance. This paper proposes a privacy-preserving approach for sharing non-IID data in the industrial Internet using an FL approach based on blockchain… More >
