Topic: Adaptive Drones and Federated Learning: A New Paradigm for Multimedia IoT Networks
Speaker: Chaofeng Zhang, Advanced Institute of Industrial Technology, Japan
Abstract:
Federated learning constitutes an emergent paradigm for addressing tasks associated with multimedia (e.g., video, audio, image). Rather than transmitting data streams such as video, audio, and images collected by mobile clients and Internet of Things (IoT) devices directly to servers, these data are initially preprocessed utilizing the computational capabilities of the devices themselves. Federated learning, which has attracted significant attention, further enhances the performance of such services by orchestrating the training of non-identically distributed (non-IID) multimedia data across different devices. This study explores federated learning in multimedia tasks, with a particular emphasis on drones as communication relays in an IoT network. We address the challenges of random location distribution, communication difficulties, and the complexities of cloud server processing. To overcome these, we propose an approach using adaptive drones and a dedicated network. We introduce a Lyapunov drift-based learning optimization (LDLO) and a multi-target Ford-Fulkerson algorithm (MFFA) for task allocation and drone movement optimization. A simulation study validates our methods’ effectiveness in reducing latency and energy consumption.
