  • Publication number: 20240070531
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for automatic adaptive client selection in federated learning. A server sends parameters of a machine learning model to all of clients, where all of the clients compute respective gradients using the parameters. The server receives sketches of the respective gradients, where the sketches are computed by all of the clients. The server uses the sketches to compute similarity between all of the clients and clusters the all of the clients based on the similarity. The server optimizes a number of client clusters and a dimension of the sketches, subject to a constraint of memory consumption, a constraint of communication overhead, and a performance metric. The server determines a subset of the clients that send the respective gradients, by selecting the clients from the client clusters. The server aggregates the respective gradients sent by the subset of the clients.

  • Patent number: 11836576
    Abstract: A training process of a machine learning model is executed at the edge node for a number of iterations to generate a model parameter based at least in part on a local dataset and a global model parameter. A resource parameter set indicative of resources available at the edge node is estimated. The model parameter and the resource parameter set are sent to a synchronization node. Updates to the global model parameter and the number of iterations are received from the synchronization node based at least in part on the model parameter and the resource parameter set of edge nodes. The training process of the machine learning model is repeated at the edge node to determine an update to the model parameter based at least in part on the local dataset and updates to the global model parameter and the number of iterations from the synchronization node.

  • Patent number: 11620583
    Abstract: Using locality sensitive hashing in federated machine learning. A server receives from clients locality sensitive hash (LSH) vectors. In one embodiment, the server groups the clients into clusters, based on the LSH vectors; the server selects a subset of the clients, by choosing at least one client from each of the clusters. In another embodiment, the server finds a subset of the clients, by minimize gradient divergence for the subset of the clients. The server receives from selected clients LSH vectors computed based on parameter vectors of updated models, and based on LSH vectors the server determines whether the updated models are sufficiently different from a model being trained; in response to determining that the updated models are sufficiently different from the model, the server requests the selected clients to send the parameter vectors to the server.

  • Patent number: 11521090
    Abstract: A model requester node, which is an edge node of a cloud computing network, generates a specification of a machine learning model, distributes the specification to a plurality of other edge nodes, and receives replies to the specification from the plurality of other edge nodes. In response to the replies, the model requester node identifies a set of participating edge nodes based on a learning utility and a cost estimate of each of the plurality of other edge nodes. The model requester node then trains the machine learning model, without exchanging training data among the model requester node and the participating edge nodes, by repeatedly: distributing most recent parameters of the machine learning model to the participating edge nodes; receiving updates to the most recent parameters from the participating edge nodes; and establishing new parameters for the machine learning model by aggregating the updates from the participating edge nodes.

  • Patent number: 11416469
    Abstract: In an approach to unsupervised feature learning for relational data, a computer trains one or more entity aware autoencoders on one or more tables in a relational database, where each of the one or more entity aware autoencoders corresponds to one of the one or more tables in the relational database, and where each of the one or more entity aware autoencoders are comprised of an encoder and a decoder. A computer transforms each of the one or more tables in the relational database with the encoder of the corresponding trained entity aware autoencoder. A computer joins a first transformed table of the one or more tables in the relational database with each remaining one or more transformed tables in the relational database to form one or more joined tables. A computer aggregates the one or more joined tables. A computer outputs one or more feature representations.

  • Publication number: 20220207444
    Abstract: A system and method for assessing Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) Automatic machine learned (AutoML) model pipeline charge to a user on the basis of performance improvement achieved by configuring a model pipeline with performance enhancements relative to a performance obtained by a base model pipeline. The method performs a ranking of pipelines (customized models) based on a user-specified metric (for example, prediction accuracy, run time, F1 score) or combination of metrics. The price for ranked pipelines is specified based on a “surrogate” model where the surrogate model is fit to the base model price and the maximum price for a model. The base model price relates to use of a current cloud resource utilization-based pricing model. The pricing per model pipeline increments on the basis of performance metric(s) in a linear fashion, e.g., using a linear pricing model, or in an exponential fashion, e.g., using a fixed percentage hike price model.
