Abstract:

Federated learning has become increasingly important for modern machine learning, especially for data privacy sensitive scenarios. It is difficult to carry out secure machine learning between heterogeneous data islands. A federated learning communication mode between heterogeneous data islands is proposed, which realizes the hybrid federated learning communication between horizontal and vertical, and breaks the communication barrier of the disunity of model structure between horizontal and vertical participants in traditional federated learning. Based on the special privacy requirements of the government, banks and other institutions, the third party aggregator is further removed on the basis of the hybrid federated learning model, and the calculation is carried out only among the participants, which greatly improves the privacy security of local data. In view of the computational speed bottleneck caused by vertical homomorphic encryption in the communication process in the above model, by increasing the local iteration round q, the encryption time of vertical federation learning is shortened by more than 10 times, and the computational bottleneck between horizontal and vertical participants is reduced, and the accuracy loss is less than 5% .
