Abstract

The advent of federated learning has unveiled a collaborative approach to learning across data islands, yet its scalability faces challenges from Non-IID local data at federated nodes and insufficient oversight, accountability, and privacy in centralized frameworks. To tackle these issues, a blockchain-based Trustworthy Slice Aggregation (BBTSA) and Federated Attribution Optimization Method (FedAom) have been introduced. FedAom adopts attribution thinking, using the Integrated Gradients method for attribution to identify parameters influencing model decisions. It considers parameter sensitivity in a tiered approach, preserving and enhancing key knowledge learned by the global model during local updates. This effectively utilizes shared data to mitigate the Non-IID problem. Concurrently, BBTSA employs blockchain to establish a decentralized framework, facilitating noise exchange between nodes instead of direct parameters, with a cooperative tree structure for obfuscation to boost privacy. Validation on diverse distributions across two datasets indicates FedAom notably improves stability and convergence speed over baseline methods in most instances. Simultaneously, BBTSA ensures client privacy without compromising model accuracy, guaranteeing training oversight and privacy protection.
