Secure Shapley Value for Cross-Silo Federated Learning

The Shapley value (SV) is a fair and principled metric for contribution evaluation in cross-silo federated learning (cross-silo FL), wherein organizations, i.e., clients, collaboratively train prediction models with the coordination of a parameter server. However, existing SV calculation methods for FL assume that the server can access the raw FL models and public test data. This may not be a valid assumption in practice considering the emerging privacy attacks on FL models and the fact that test data might be clients' private assets. Hence, we investigate the problem of secure SV calculation for cross-silo FL. We first propose HESV, a one-server solution based solely on homomorphic encryption (HE) for privacy protection, which has limitations in efficiency. To overcome these limitations, we propose SecSV, an efficient two-server protocol with the following novel features. First, SecSV utilizes a hybrid privacy protection scheme to avoid ciphertext--ciphertext multiplications between test data and models, which are extremely expensive under HE. Second, an efficient secure matrix multiplication method is proposed for SecSV. Third, SecSV strategically identifies and skips some test samples without significantly affecting the evaluation accuracy. Our experiments demonstrate that SecSV is 7.2-36.6 times as fast as HESV, with a limited loss in the accuracy of calculated SVs.Comment: Extened report for our VLDB 2023 pape

Improving large-scale k-nearest neighbor text categorization with label autoencoders

In this paper, we introduce a multi-label lazy learning approach to deal with automatic semantic indexing in large document collections in the presence of complex and structured label vocabularies with high inter-label correlation. The proposed method is an evolution of the traditional k-Nearest Neighbors algorithm which uses a large autoencoder trained to map the large label space to a reduced size latent space and to regenerate the predicted labels from this latent space. We have evaluated our proposal in a large portion of the MEDLINE biomedical document collection which uses the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) thesaurus as a controlled vocabulary. In our experiments we propose and evaluate several document representation approaches and different label autoencoder configurations.Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación | Ref. PID2020-113230RB-C2
