论文摘要
在点击率（CTR）预测的联合学习（FL）中，用户的数据未共享以保护隐私。学习是通过在客户端设备上本地培训进行的，并仅向服务器传达模型更改。有两个主要挑战：（i）客户的异质性，制作使用加权平均来汇总客户模型更新的FL算法的进步缓慢且学习结果不令人满意； （ii）由于每个实验所需的大量计算时间和资源，使用反复试验方法调整服务器学习率的困难。为了应对这些挑战，我们提出了一种简单的在线元学习方法，以学习汇总模型更新的策略，该策略根据客户的属性适应客户的重要性并调整更新的步骤大小。我们在公共数据集上进行广泛的评估。我们的方法在收敛速度和最终学习结果的质量方面都大大优于最先进的方法。
In Federated Learning (FL) of click-through rate (CTR) prediction, users' data is not shared for privacy protection. The learning is performed by training locally on client devices and communicating only model changes to the server. There are two main challenges: (i) the client heterogeneity, making FL algorithms that use the weighted averaging to aggregate model updates from the clients have slow progress and unsatisfactory learning results; and (ii) the difficulty of tuning the server learning rate with trial-and-error methodology due to the big computation time and resources needed for each experiment. To address these challenges, we propose a simple online meta-learning method to learn a strategy of aggregating the model updates, which adaptively weighs the importance of the clients based on their attributes and adjust the step sizes of the update. We perform extensive evaluations on public datasets. Our method significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art in both the speed of convergence and the quality of the final learning results.
