Recently, various studies using deep reinforcement learning (deep RL) technology have been conducted to solve complex problems using big data collected at industrial internet of things. Deep RL uses reinforcement learning"s trial-and-error algorithms and cumulative compensation functions to generate and learn its own data and quickly explore neural network structures and parameter decisions. However, studies so far have shown that the larger the size of the learning data is, the higher are the memory usage and search time, and the lower is the accuracy. In this study, model-agnostic learning for efficient federated deep RL was utilized to solve privacy invasion by increasing robustness as 55.9% and achieve 97.8% accuracy, an improvement of 5.5% compared with the comparative optimization-based meta learning models, and to reduce the delay time by 28.9% on average.

연합학습(Federated Learning)에서는 여러 참가자가 서로 간의 데이터를 공유하지 않고 협력하여 하나의 모델을 학습할 수 있다. 그 중 수직 연합학습(Vertical Federated Learning)은 참가자 간에 동일한 샘플에 대해 서로 다른 특성(Feature)를 가지고 학습한다. 또한 서로 다른 특성(Feature)에는 입력의 라벨(Label)도 포함하기 때문에 라벨을 소유한 참가자 외에는 라벨 정보 또한 접근할 수 없다. 이처럼 다양한 참가자가 학습에 참여하는 경우 악의적인 참가자에 의해 모델이 포이즈닝 될 여지가 존재함에도 불구하고 수직 연합학습에서는 관련 연구가 부족하다. 포이즈닝 공격 중 백도어 공격은 학습 과정에 관여하여 특정 입력 패턴에 대해서 모델이 공격자가 원하는 타겟 라벨로 예측하도록 오염시키는 공격이다. 수직 연합학습에서는 참가자가 학습과 추론 모든 과정에서 관여하기 때문에 백도어 공격에 취약할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 수직 연합학습에서의 최신 백도어 공격과 한계점에 대해 분석한다.

Autonomous vehicles use onboard sensors to sense the surrounding environment. In complex autonomous driving scenarios, the detection and recognition capabilities are constrained, which may result in serious accidents. An efficient way to enhance the detection and recognition capabilities is establishing collaborations with the neighbor vehicles. However, the collaborations introduce additional challenges in terms of the data heterogeneity, communication cost, and data privacy. In this paper, a novel personalized federated learning framework is proposed for addressing the challenges and enabling efficient collaborations in autonomous driving environment. For obtaining a global model, vehicles perform local training and transmit logits to a central unit instead of the entire model, and thus the communication cost is minimized, and the data privacy is protected. Then, the inference similarity is derived for capturing the characteristics of data heterogeneity. The vehicles are divided into clusters based on the inference similarity and a weighted aggregation is performed within a cluster. Finally, the vehicles download the corresponding aggregated global model and train a personalized model which is personalized for the cluster that has similar data distribution, so that accuracy is not affected by heterogeneous data. Experimental results demonstrate significant advantages of our proposed method in improving the efficiency of collaborative perception and reducing communication cost.

Audience reactions in response to remote virtual performances must be compressed before being transmitted to the server. The server, which aggregates these data for group insights, requires a distribution code for the transfer. Recently, distributed learning algorithms such as federated learning have gained attention as alternatives that satisfy both the information security and efficiency requirements. In distributed learning, no individual user has access to complete information, and the objective is to achieve a learning effect similar to that achieved with the entire information. It is therefore important to distribute interdependent information among users and subsequently aggregate this information following training. In this paper, we present a new extension technique for minimal code that allows a new minimal code with a different length and Hamming weight to be generated through the product of any vector and a given minimal code. Thus, the proposed technique can generate minimal codes with previously unknown parameters. We also present a scenario wherein these combined methods can be applied.

In the era of the 4th industrial revolution, where automation and connectivity are maximized with artificial intelligence, the importance of data collection and utilization for model update is increasing. In order to create a model using artificial intelligence technology, it is usually necessary to gather data in one place so that it can be updated, but this can infringe users' privacy. In this paper, we introduce federated learning, a distributed machine learning method that can update models in cooperation without directly sharing distributed stored data, and introduce a study to optimize distributed consensus among participants without an existing server. In addition, we propose a pattern and group-based distributed consensus optimization algorithm that uses an algorithm for generating patterns and groups based on the Kirkman Triple System, and performs parallel updates and communication. This algorithm guarantees more privacy than the existing distributed consensus optimization algorithm and reduces the communication time until the model converges.

As 5G and AI continue to develop, there has been a significant surge in the healthcare industry. The COVID-19 pandemic has posed immense challenges to the global health system. This study proposes an FL-supported edge computing model based on federated learning (FL) for predicting clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients during hospitalization. The model aims to address the challenges posed by the pandemic, such as the need for sophisticated predictive models, privacy concerns, and the non-IID nature of COVID-19 data. The model utilizes the FATE framework, known for its privacy-preserving technologies, to enhance predictive precision while ensuring data privacy and effectively managing data heterogeneity. The model's ability to generalize across diverse datasets and its adaptability in real-world clinical settings are highlighted by the use of SHAP values, which streamline the training process by identifying influential features, thus reducing computational overhead without compromising predictive precision. The study demonstrates that the proposed model achieves comparable precision to specific machine learning models when dataset sizes are identical and surpasses traditional models when larger training data volumes are employed. The model's performance is further improved when trained on datasets from diverse nodes, leading to superior generalization and overall performance, especially in scenarios with insufficient node features. The integration of FL with edge computing contributes significantly to the reliable prediction of COVID-19 patient outcomes with greater privacy. The research contributes to healthcare technology by providing a practical solution for early intervention and personalized treatment plans, leading to improved patient outcomes and efficient resource allocation during public health crises.

본 논문에서는 지속적으로 최적화된 인공지능 모델을 적용하기 위한 방안으로 연합 학습(Federated Learning)을 활용한 접근법을 제시한다. 최근 다양한 산업 분야에서 인공지능 활용에 대한 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 금융과 같은 일부 산업은 강력한 보안, 높은 정확도, 규제 준수, 실시간 대응이 요구됨과 동시에 정적 시스템 환경 특성으로 적용된 인공지능 모델의 최적화가 어렵다. 이러한 환경적 한계 해결을 위하여, 연합 학습을 통한 모델의 최적화 방안을 제안한다. 연합 학습은 데이터 프라이버시를 유지하면서 모델의 지속적 최적화를 제공이 가능한 강력한 아키텍처이다. 그러나 연합 학습은 클라이언트와 중앙 서버의 반복적인 통신과 학습으로, 불필요한 자원에 대한 소요가 요구된다. 이러한 연합 학습의 단점 극복을 위하여, 주요도 높은 클라이언트의 선정 및 클라이언트와 중앙 서버의 조기 중단(early stopping) 전략을 통한 지속적, 효율적 최적화가 가능한 연합 학습 모델의 운영 전략을 제시한다.
