Federated Frank-Wolfe Algorithm

Abstract:
Federated learning (FL) has gained much attention in recent years for building privacy-preserving collaborative learning systems. However, FL algorithms for constrained machine learning problems are still very limited, particularly when the projection step is costly. To this end, we propose a Federated Frank-Wolfe Algorithm (FedFW). FedFW provably finds an -suboptimal solution of the constrained empirical risk-minimization problem after iterations if the objective function is convex. The rate becomes if the objective is non-convex. The method enjoys data privacy, low per-iteration cost and communication of sparse signals. We demonstrate empirical performance of the FedFW algorithm on several machine learning tasks.
