Abstract

As the need for interconnected devices and data exchange grows in the Internet of Things (IoT), traditional centralized data processing methods increasingly struggle to maintain privacy and adapt to the diverse and dispersed nature of IoT devices. Federated learning, a decentralized approach to machine learning, presents a viable solution to these challenges. Yet, the varied nature of IoT data and stringent privacy requirements introduce unique obstacles for federated learning. This paper introduces FedWDP, a federated learning method specifically designed for IoT privacy needs and heterogeneous data. FedWDP uses the Wasserstein distance to quantify the gap between local and global parameters, integrating this measure as a regularization term in the loss function to reduce model discrepancies and improve accuracy. To further balance privacy and usability, an exponential decay strategy is implemented, allowing for adaptive distribution of differential privacy noise. For better performance on high-dimensional data, PCA-FedWDP is proposed, which combines principal component analysis (PCA) with differentially private federated learning to perform dimensionality reduction. Experimental results on non-IID datasets reveal that this approach significantly enhances both accuracy and availability for heterogeneous data while safeguarding user privacy. This study thus provides a valuable framework for applying federated learning in IoT settings, contributing to the secure and intelligent use of IoT data in both theoretical and practical contexts.
FedWDP:用于物联网中隐私和异构数据的基于wasserstein -distance的联邦学习
随着物联网(IoT)中互联设备和数据交换需求的增长,传统的集中式数据处理方法越来越难以维护隐私,并适应物联网设备的多样性和分散性。联邦学习是一种分散的机器学习方法,为这些挑战提供了可行的解决方案。然而,物联网数据的多样性和严格的隐私要求为联合学习带来了独特的障碍。本文介绍了FedWDP,一种专门为物联网隐私需求和异构数据设计的联邦学习方法。FedWDP使用Wasserstein距离来量化局部和全局参数之间的差距,并将该度量作为损失函数中的正则化项进行积分,以减少模型差异并提高精度。为了进一步平衡隐私和可用性,实现了指数衰减策略,允许微分隐私噪声的自适应分布。为了提高高维数据的降维性能,提出了PCA- fedwdp算法,该算法将主成分分析(PCA)与差分私有联邦学习相结合,实现了对高维数据的降维。在非iid数据集上的实验结果表明,该方法在保护用户隐私的同时,显著提高了异构数据的准确性和可用性。因此,本研究为在物联网环境中应用联邦学习提供了一个有价值的框架,有助于在理论和实践环境中安全、智能地使用物联网数据。
