Heterogeneity-Guided Client Sampling: Towards Fast and Efficient Non-IID Federated Learning
This has motivated numerous studies aiming to reduce the variance and improve convergence of FL on non-IID data [6, 9, 14, 17, 19, 30]. On another note, constraints on communication resources and therefore on the number of clients that may participate in training additionally complicate implementation of FL schemes.
No Change, No Gain: Empowering Graph Neural Networks with Expected Model Change Maximization for Active Learning
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are crucial for machine learning applications with graph-structured data, but their success depends on sufficient labeled data. We present a novel active learning (AL) method for GNNs, extending the Expected Model Change Maximization (EMCM) principle to improve prediction performance on unlabeled data. By presenting a Bayesian interpretation for the node embeddings generated by GNNs under the semi-supervised setting, we efficiently compute the closed-form EMCM acquisition function as the selection criterion for AL without re-training.
