A Google TechTalk, presented by Mosharaf Chowdhury, 2021/11/9ABSTRACT: Systems Support for Federated ComputationAlthough theoretical federated learning research is growing exponentially, we are far from putting those theories into practice. In this talk, I will share our ventures into building practical systems for two extremities of federated learning and analytics. Sol is a cross-silo federated computation system that tackles network latency and bandwidth challenges faced by distributed computation between far-apart data sites. Oort, in contrast, is a cross-device federated learning system that enables training and testing on representative data distributions despite unpredictable device availability. Both deal with systems and network characteristics in the wild that are hard to account for in analytical models. I'll then share the challenges in systematically evaluating federated learning systems that have led to a disconnect between theoretical conclusions and performance in the wild. I'll conclude this talk by introducing FedScale, which is an extensible framework for evaluation and benchmarking in realistic settings to democratize practical federated learning for researchers and practitioners alike. All these systems are open-source and available at https://github.com/symbioticlab.Uploaded 08-02-22About the Speaker: Mosharaf Chowdhury, University of MichiganMosharaf Chowdhury is a Morris Wellman assistant professor of CSE at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where he leads the SymbioticLab on application-infrastructure co-design for federated learning, resource disaggregation, and systems for AI and Big Data. In the past, Mosharaf invented coflows and was a co-creator of Apache Spark. Artifacts from his research are widely used in cloud datacenters. He has received many individual honors and awards as well as best-of-conference awards thanks to his amazing students and collaborators. He received his Ph.D. from the AMPLab at UC Berkeley in 2015.For more information about the workshop: https://events.withgoogle.com/2021-workshop-on-federated-learning-and-analytics/#content
