Enhancing Privacy via Hierarchical Federated Learning

23 Apr 2020  ·  Aidmar Wainakh, Alejandro Sanchez Guinea, Tim Grube, Max Mühlhäuser ·

Federated learning suffers from several privacy-related issues that expose the participants to various threats. A number of these issues are aggravated by the centralized architecture of federated learning. In this paper, we discuss applying federated learning on a hierarchical architecture as a potential solution. We introduce the opportunities for more flexible decentralized control over the training process and its impact on the participants' privacy. Furthermore, we investigate possibilities to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of defense and verification methods.
