Original Federated Averaging algorithm by McMahan et al. (2017).

This protocol performs a predetermined number of epochs or steps of training on each remote Pod before sending the updated model parameters to the modeller. These parameters are then averaged and sent back to the Pods for as many federated iterations as the Modeller specifies.

tip

For more information, take a look at the seminal paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1602.05629

Arguments

  • aggregator: The aggregator to use for updating the model parameters across all Pods participating in the task. This argument takes priority over the secure_aggregation argument.

  • auto_eval: Whether to automatically evaluate the model on the validation dataset. Defaults to True.
  • epochs_between_parameter_updates: The number of epochs between parameter updates, i.e. the number of rounds of local training before parameters are updated. If steps_between_parameter_updates is provided, epochs_between_parameter_updates cannot be provided. Defaults to None.
  • secure_aggregation: Whether to use secure aggregation. This argument is overridden by the aggregator argument. Defaults to False.
  • steps_between_parameter_updates: The number of steps between parameter updates, i.e. the number of rounds of local training before parameters are updated. If epochs_between_parameter_updates is provided, steps_between_parameter_updates cannot be provided. Defaults to None.

Attributes

  • algorithm: The algorithm to use for training
  • auto_eval: Whether to automatically evaluate the model on the validation dataset.
  • epochs_between_parameter_updates: The number of epochs between parameter updates.

Simply returns the results from the provided algorithm.

Arguments

  • secure_aggregation: Whether to use secure aggregation. This argument is overridden by the aggregator argument.

Attributes

  • aggregator: The aggregator to use for updating the algorithm results.
  • algorithm: The algorithm to run. This must be compatible with the ResultsOnly protocol.
  • fields_dict: A dictionary mapping all attributes that will be serialized in the class to their marshamllow field type. (e.g. fields_dict = {"class_name": fields.Str()}).
  • name: The name of the protocol.
  • nested_fields: A dictionary mapping all nested attributes to a registry that contains class names mapped to the respective classes. (e.g. nested_fields = {"datastructure": datastructure.registry})

Raises

  • TypeError: If the algorithm is not compatible with the protocol.
