Abstract
In federated submodel learning (FSL), a machine learning model is divided
into multiple submodels based on different types of data used for training.
Each user involved in the training process only downloads and updates the
submodel relevant to the user's local data, which significantly reduces the
communication cost compared to classical federated learning (FL). However, the
index of the submodel updated by the user and the values of the updates reveal
information about the user's private data. In order to guarantee
information-theoretic privacy in FSL, the model is stored at multiple
non-colluding databases, and the user sends queries and updates to each
database in such a way that no information is revealed on the updating submodel
index or the values of the updates. In this work, we consider the practical
scenario where the multiple non-colluding databases are allowed to have
arbitrary storage constraints. The goal of this work is to develop read-write
schemes and storage mechanisms for FSL that efficiently utilize the available
storage in each database to store the submodel parameters in such a way that
the total communication cost is minimized while guaranteeing
information-theoretic privacy of the updating submodel index and the values of
the updates. As the main result, we consider both heterogeneous and homogeneous
storage constrained databases, and propose private read-write and storage
schemes for the two cases.
