Constrained Bayesian Optimization for Hierarchical Federated Learning in IoT Networks for Plant Disease Classification

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces a constrained Bayesian Optimization framework to efficiently configure Hierarchical Federated Learning (HFL) for plant disease classification in IoT networks. It jointly optimizes the deep learning backbone, aggregation strategy, and communication rounds while respecting energy, execution time, and accuracy constraints. Experiments on an IoT-based plant disease task show the method explores only 11.11% of the search space yet finds solutions within 1% of exhaustive search, achieving a mean optimality gap of 0.056%.

BIPPO: Budget-Aware Independent PPO for Energy-Efficient Federated Learning Services

BIPPO (Budget-aware Independent Proximal Policy Optimization) is a multi‑agent reinforcement learning framework designed for energy‑efficient client selection in federated learning (FL) over IoT systems. It addresses infrastructure constraints such as limited resources and device churn, which traditional FL and RL approaches overlook. Evaluated on two image‑classification tasks with non‑IID data, BIPPO improves mean accuracy over non‑RL methods, standard PPO, and IPPO while consuming only a negligible portion of the budget, even as client numbers grow.
