Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Federated Learning (FL) is a privacy-preserving algorithm that enables multiple clients to collaboratively train a global model without sharing their local data. This learning algorithm is particularly valuable in privacy-sensitive applications such as Human Activity Recognition (HAR), where users are reluctant to share their personal data. However, a conventional FL system suffers from data heterogeneity and communication overhead. To address these issues, we propose an efficient FL algorithm for image-based HAR using optimal server representations (OSR). OSR efficiently selects a representative set of privacy-preserved images for transmission to the server and improves the global model quality by training on privacy-preserved data. Our comprehensive experiments carried out on three public datasets, namely Stanford40, PPMI, and VOC2012, demonstrate the superiority of OSR in terms of performance and bandwidth usage compared to state-of-the-art approaches.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
