  • pvFed: Personalized Vertical Federated learning for Client-Specific Tasks

    Akihito Nishikawa, Tomu Yanabe, Yuiko Sakuma, Yuma Okuda, Hiroaki Nishi

    IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering)  19 ( 6 ) 993 - 1000 2024.06

     View Summary

    Federated Learning (FL) is a distributed machine learning paradigm that enables multiple data holders to collaborate on building machine learning models while preserving the privacy of their data. FL can be categorized as horizontal or vertical, depending on the distribution characteristics of the data. Specifically, horizontal FL uses data partitioned in the sample space, whereas vertical FL uses data partitioned in the feature space. Traditional vertical FL methods aim to facilitate collaboration among clients to infer a single global target. However, these methods may be impractical because each client often has a unique target to be inferred. In this paper, we propose a novel vertical FL method, called personalized vertical federated learning (pvFed), which addresses this limitation by allowing each client to perform inferences specific to their individual task. To the best of our knowledge, no existing method currently addresses this limitation. The objective of pvFed is to construct a global model that generates a representation vector to support client inference. The global model, constructed using distillation and dimensionality reduction, takes a sample ID common to all clients as input and outputs a sample-specific representation vector. Clients utilize the intermediate representation of their own model and the representation vectors output by the global model for inference. Because these vectors are not dependent on client-specific tasks, clients can repurpose them for any additional tasks. Our experiments, conducted on two distinct data types—image and tabular data sets, under a vertical partitioning where each client had its own specific task, demonstrated the efficacy of vectors generated by the global model in pvFed for client inference. © 2024 Institute of Electrical Engineer of Japan and Wiley Periodicals LLC.

  • FPGA Live Migration of Content-Based Anonymization Mechanism with Network Consistency

     View Summary

    In smart communities, data are aggregated, and various services are provided based on it. When considering the optimization of service delivery through cooperative processing between the edge and the cloud in smart communities, it is essential to realize network transparent edge services due to the constraints of not touching end devices in order to improve user convenience and additional cost reduction. Moreover, considering the minimization of service provision and service delivery latency at the edge, it is desirable to use field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), which have lower power consumption, lower latency, and higher throughput than conventional processors. Additionally, to advance towards even lower latency, the distribution of processing load is important, and service migration is necessary for this purpose. Service migration is generally used to increase service availability, and even for edge services, service migration is important because the distribution of processing and the location where the service should be provided changes over time due to user mobility. When considering network transparency, service migration should be performed on the communication path between the end device and the cloud. Furthermore, to enhance service transparency, it is essential to maintain communication consistency for continuous service provision and minimize service downtime. Therefore, this study proposes a migration mechanism with FPGAs to satisfy these requirements. As an example of a real application, we target a network-transparent data anonymization application to protect the privacy of data providers and evaluate the proposed architecture based on the reality of latency and other factors. © 2023 Institute of Electrical Engineer of Japan and Wiley Periodicals LLC.

  • Anonymity-Aware Framework for Designing Recommender Systems

    Moena Honda, Hiroaki Nishi

    IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering)   2024

    ISSN  19314973

     View Summary

    Due to increasing secondary use of data, recommender systems using anonymized data are in demand. However, implementing a recommender system requires complicated data processing and programming, and the relationship between anonymization level and recommendation quality has not been investigated. Therefore, this study proposes a framework that facilitates the development of recommender systems. Additionally, a method is proposed for quantitatively evaluating recommendation quality when the anonymization level is varied. The proposed method promotes data utilization by recommender systems and determination of compensation for providing data based on anonymization level. © 2024 Institute of Electrical Engineer of Japan and Wiley Periodicals LLC.
