Abstract

In the traditional cloud architecture, data needs to be uploaded to the cloud for processing, bringing delays in transmission and response. Edge network emerges as the times require. Data processing on the edge nodes can reduce the delay of data transmission and improve the response speed. In recent years, the need for artificial intelligence of edge network has been proposed. However, the data of a single, individual edge node is limited and does not satisfy the conditions of machine learning. Therefore, performing edge network machine learning under the premise of data confidentiality became a research hotspot. This paper proposes a Privacy-Preserving Asynchronous Federated Learning Mechanism for Edge Network Computing (PAFLM), which can allow multiple edge nodes to achieve more efficient federated learning without sharing their private data. Compared with the traditional distributed learning, the proposed method compresses the communications between nodes and parameter server during the training process without affecting the accuracy. Moreover, it allows the node to join or quit in any process of learning, which can be suitable to the scene with highly mobile edge devices.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
