- Keynote 2: Prof. Dusit Niyato
School of Computer Science and Engineering,
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
Title: Reliable Federated Learning for Mobile Networks
Abstract: In this talk, we present an integration of blockchain technology into federated learning for secure and reliable federated learning. The concept of reputation is introduced as a reliable metric for federated learning workers. Based on this metric, a reliable worker selection scheme is proposed for federated learning tasks. Consortium blockchain is leveraged as a decentralized approach for achieving efficient reputation management of the workers without repudiation and tampering.
