Personalized Federated Learning via ADMM with Moreau Envelope (2311.06756v2)

Published 12 Nov 2023 in cs.LG and cs.DC

Abstract: Personalized federated learning (PFL) is an approach proposed to address the issue of poor convergence on heterogeneous data. However, most existing PFL frameworks require strong assumptions for convergence. In this paper, we propose an alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) for training PFL models with Moreau envelope (FLAME), which achieves a sublinear convergence rate, relying on the relatively weak assumption of gradient Lipschitz continuity. Moreover, due to the gradient-free nature of ADMM, FLAME alleviates the need for hyperparameter tuning, particularly in avoiding the adjustment of the learning rate when training the global model. In addition, we propose a biased client selection strategy to expedite the convergence of training of PFL models. Our theoretical analysis establishes the global convergence under both unbiased and biased client selection strategies. Our experiments validate that FLAME, when trained on heterogeneous data, outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of model performance. Regarding communication efficiency, it exhibits an average speedup of 3.75x compared to the baselines. Furthermore, experimental results validate that the biased client selection strategy speeds up the convergence of both personalized and global models.
