FedBVA

This is the official implementation of "Adversarial Robustness through Bias Variance Decomposition: A New Perspective for Federated Learning" (CIKM'22).

Requirements

• Python 3.6
• numpy==1.18.1
• torch==1.4.0
• torchvision==0.5.0

Training and testing

For robust federated learning on MNIST image data set with IID setting, please run

python main.py

Details

• utils: hyper-parameter setting (params.py) and decentralized data sampling (sampling.py)
• models: our decentralized learning algorithm, including client update and server update
• data: image data set (e.g., MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, Cifar10 and Cifar100) could be downloaded automatically from torchvision package
• save: we use the same random model initialization for all the experiments, blackbox attack models need to be pretrained
