Privacy-Preserving Federated Transfer Learning for Driver Drowsiness Detection
Open accessAbstract
The drowsiness affects the driver’s sensory, cognitive, and psychomotor abilities, which are necessary for safe driving. Drowsiness detection is a critical technique to avoid traffic accidents. The federated learning (FL) can solve the problem of insufficient driver facial data by utilizing different industrial entities’ data. However, in the FL system, the privacy information of the drivers might be leaked. In addition, reducing the communication costs and maintaining the model performance is also a challenge in industrial scenarios. In this work, we propose a federated transfer learning method with privacy-preserving protocol for driver drowsiness detection, named PFTL-DDD. We use fine-tuning transfer learning on the initial model of the drowsiness detection FL system. Furthermore, a CKKS-based privacy-preserving protocol is applied to preserve the drivers’ privacy data by encrypting the exchanged parameters. The experimental results show that the PFTL-DDD method is superior in terms of accuracy and efficiency as compared to the conventional federated learning on the NTHU-DDD dataset and YAWDD dataset. The theoretical analysis demonstrates that the proposed transfer learning method can reduce the communication cost of the system, and the CKKS-based security protocol can protect the personal privacy.

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.
