Abstract

Federated learning allows multiple clients to train a global model without data exchanging. But in real world, the global model is not suitable for all clients because they may hold heterogenous data and have personalized and individual demands, which will directly weaken the motivation of them to participate in federated learning. To make each client benefits from federated learning, researchers propose to train personalized models from global model using local data. However, the lack of raw data in the model retraining process will lead to the challenge of forgetting, which can deprive the personalized model of the benefits gained from federated learning. In extreme cases (e.g., the client lacks certain classes of data), the ability to recognize the lacked data may even be completely forgotten. To this end, we propose a local adaptation method to overcome forgetting, which add the generator synthetic data to local adaptation to realize model updating incrementally. We test our method on real-world datasets, and the results show that when adopting the proposed method on local adaptation, the clients can get flexible adaption ability to new data as well as keep the original recognition capability of the global model even in extreme cases.
