A federated learning differential privacy algorithm for non-Gaussian heterogeneous data.

Multi-center heterogeneous data are a hot topic in federated learning. The data of clients and centers do not follow a normal distribution, posing significant challenges to learning. Based on the assumption that the client data have a multivariate skewed normal distribution, we improve the DP-Fed-mv-PPCA model. We use a Bayesian framework to construct prior distributions of local parameters and use expectation maximization and pseudo-Newton algorithms to obtain robust parameter estimates. Then, the clipping algorithm and differential privacy algorithm are used to solve the problem in which the model parameters do not have a display solution and achieve privacy guarantee. Furthermore, we verified the effectiveness of our model using synthetic and actual data from the Internet of vehicles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
