FedDyn (WIP)

Getting Started

Downloading datasets through torchvision can be quite slow or can even fail. Therefore, it is recommended that you download the datasets prior to preparing the data.

• CIFAR10
• EMNIST

Results

Custom Datasets

ToDo:

• Add MLP
• Add CNN
• Write client side training -[ ] Dynamic regularization
• Server side update
  • Update only parameters & not entire state dict?
• Main FedDyn loop
• Proper communication between server and clients
• Prepare dataset
  • IID
  • Non-IID Balanced
  • None-IID Unbalanced
• Download datasets
• Metrics (bits transferred, accuracy etc)
• Parallel training
