Near-optimal Differentially Private Client Selection in Federated Settings

Published 13 Oct 2023 in cs.CR, cs.AI, and cs.DC | (2310.09370v1)

Abstract: We develop an iterative differentially private algorithm for client selection in federated settings. We consider a federated network wherein clients coordinate with a central server to complete a task; however, the clients decide whether to participate or not at a time step based on their preferences -- local computation and probabilistic intent. The algorithm does not require client-to-client information exchange. The developed algorithm provides near-optimal values to the clients over long-term average participation with a certain differential privacy guarantee. Finally, we present the experimental results to check the algorithm's efficacy.
