Generate Datasets

See the README files in separate data/$dataset folders for instructions on preprocessing and/or sampling each dataset.

For example,

under fair_flearn/data/fmnist, we clearly describe how to generate and preprocess the Fashion MNIST dataset.

In order to run the following demo on the Vehicle dataset, please go to fair_flearn/data/vehicle, download, and generate the Vehicle dataset following the README file under that directory.

Get Started

Example: the Vehicle dataset

[We provide a quick demo on the Vehicle dataset here. Don't need to change any default parameters in any scripts.]

First specify GPU ids (we can just use CPUs for Vehicle with a linear SVM)

export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=

Then go to the fair_flearn directory, and start running:

bash run.sh $dataset $method $data_partition_seed $q $sampling_device_method | tee $log

For Vehicle, $dataset is vehicle, $data_partition_seed can be set to 1, q is 0 for FedAvg, and 5 for q-FedAvg (the proposed objective). For sampling with weights proportional to the number of data points, $sampling_device_method is 2; for uniform sampling (one of the baselines), $sampling_device_method is 1. The exact command lines are as follows.

(1) Experiments to verify the fairness of the q-FFL objective, and compare with uniform sampling schemes:

mkdir log_vehicle
bash run.sh vehicle qffedavg 1 0 2 | tee log_vehicle/ffedavg_run1_q0
bash run.sh vehicle qffedavg 1 5 2 | tee log_vehicle/ffedavg_run1_q5
bash run.sh vehicle qffedavg 1 0 1 | tee log_vehicle/fedavg_uniform_run1

Plot to re-produce the results in the manuscript:

(we use seaborn to draw the fitting curves of accuracy distributions)

pip install seaborn
python plot_fairness.py

We can then compare the generated fairness_vehicle.pdf with Figure 1 (the Vehicle subfigure) and Figure 2 (the Vehicle subfigure) in the paper to validate reproducibility. Note that the accuracy distributions reported (both in figures and tables) are the results averaged across 5 different train/test/validation data partitions with data parititon seeds 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

(2) Experiments to demonstrate the communication-efficiency of the proposed method q-FedAvg:

bash run.sh vehicle qffedsgd 1 5 2 | tee log_vehicle/ffedsgd_run1_q5

Plot to re-produce the results in the paper:

python plot_efficiency.py

We can then compare the generated efficiency_qffedavg.pdf fig with Figure 3 (the Vehicle subfigure) to verify reproducibility.

Run on other datasets

First, config run.sh based on all hyper-parameters (e.g., batch size, learning rate, etc) reported in the manuscript (appendix B.2.3).
If you would like to run on Sent140, you also need to download a pre-trained embedding file using the following commands (this may take 3-5 minutes):

cd fair_flearn/flearn/models/sent140
bash get_embs.sh

We use different models for different datasets, so you need to change the model name specified by --model. The corrsponding model associated with a dataset is described in fair_flearn/models/$dataset/$model.py. For instance, if you would like to run on the Shakespeare dataset, you can find the model name under fair_flearn/models/shakespeare/, which is stacked_lstm, and pass this parameter to --model='stacked_lstm'.
You also need to specify total communication rounds using --num_rounds. Suggested number of rounds based on our previous experiments are:

Vehicle: default
synthetic: 20000
sent140: 200
shakespeare: 80
fashion mnist: 6000
adult: 600

For fairness and efficiency experiments, we use four datasets: Vehicle, Sythetic, sent140 and Shakespeare. method can be chosen from [qffedavg, qffedsgd]. $sampling is 2 (with weights of sampling devices proportional to the number of local data points).

mkdir log_$dataset
bash run.sh $dataset $method $seed $q $sampling | tee log_$dataset/$method_run$seed_q$q

In particular, $dataset can be chosen from [vehicle, synthetic, sent140, shakespeare], in accordance with the data directory names under the fair_flearn/data/ folder.

Compare with AFL. We compare wtih the AFL baseline using the two datasets (samplaed Fashion MNIST and Adult) following the AFL paper.

Generate data. (data generation process is as described above)
Specify parameters. method should be specified to be afl in order to run AFL algorithms. data_partition_seed should be set to 0, such that it won't randomly partition datasets into train/test/validation splits. This allows us to use the same standard public testing set as that in the AFL paper. track_individual_accuracy should be set to 1. Here is an example run.sh for the Adult dataset:

python3  -u main.py --dataset=$1 --optimizer=$2  \
            --learning_rate=0.1 \
            --learning_rate_lambda=0.1 \
            --num_rounds=600 \
            --eval_every=1 \
            --clients_per_round=2 \
            --batch_size=10 \
            --q=$4 \
            --model='lr' \
            --sampling=$5  \
            --num_epochs=1 \
            --data_partition_seed=$3 \
            --log_interval=100 \
            --static_step_size=0 \
            --track_individual_accuracy=1 \
            --output="./log_$1/$2_samp$5_run$3_q$4"

And then run:

bash run.sh adult qffedsgd 0 5 2 | tee log_adult/qffedsgd_q5
bash run.sh adult afl 0 0 2 | tee log_adult/afl

You can find the accuracy numbers in the log files log_adult/qffedsgd_q5 and log_adult/afl, respectively.
