Abstract

Applying differential privacy to federated learning is one of the effective methods to protect the privacy of training data, but adding fixed noise to model training in existing algorithms will lead to the problem of low model accuracy and data privacy leakage. Therefore, this paper proposed a federation learning algorithm based on adaptive noise and dynamic weighting. Firstly, considering the heterogeneity of the gradient, the algorithm predicts the current round gradient norm for each client, obtains the clipping threshold, and performs adaptive clipping gradients for different rounds to achieve adaptive noise adjustment. Secondly, in order to further improve the efficiency of model training, the algorithm also proposed a dynamic weighted model aggregation method combining client contribution and data volume. The experimental results show that our algorithm not only improves the accuracy by 5.03%, 2.94% and 2.85%, but also improves the training rounds by about 5-40 rounds compared with DP-FL and the other two adaptive noise algorithms under the premise of differential privacy.
