A Learning-Based Incentive Mechanism for Federated Learning
Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) generates large amounts of data at the network edge. Machine learning models are often built on these data, to enable the detection, classification, and prediction of the future events. Due to network bandwidth, storage, and especially privacy concerns, it is often impossible to send all the IoT data to the data center for centralized model training. To address these issues, federated learning has been proposed to let nodes use the local data to train models, which are then aggregated to synthesize a global model. Most of the existing work has focused on designing learning algorithms with provable convergence time, but other issues, such as incentive mechanism, are unexplored. Although incentive mechanisms have been extensively studied in network and computation resource allocation, yet they cannot be applied to federated learning directly due to the unique challenges of information unsharing and difficulties of contribution evaluation. In this article, we study the incentive mechanism for federated learning to motivate edge nodes to contribute model training. Specifically, a deep reinforcement learning-based (DRL) incentive mechanism has been designed to determine the optimal pricing strategy for the parameter server and the optimal training strategies for edge nodes. Finally, numerical experiments have been implemented to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed DRL-based incentive mechanism.

Without a proper incentive mechanism, clients may not be willing to join data training, which would reduce the scalability of the designed federated learning system.

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.
