Abstract

Considering federated learning under mobile edge computing, where a global server connects a large number of mobile devices through the network to jointly train a deep neural network model. The data distribution shift caused by global class imbalance and device local class imbalance leads to the performance degradation of the standard federated averaging(FedAvg) algorithm. This paper proposed a device selection algorithm based on the combinatorial multi-armed bandit(CMAB) as an online learning algorithm framework, and designed a class estimation scheme to form a nonlinear reward function. Based on class estimation scheme and CMAB, in each round of communication, the global server selected the device subset with class imba-lance that could be best complementary with test performance deviation across classes of global model from last communication round. Therefore, the current aggregated global model could achieve more balance and better test performance per class, and also faster convergence and more stable training dynamics. Extensive numerical results demonstrate the influence of different parameters on FedAvg under class imbalance, and verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
