Federated learning scheme for mobile network based on reputation evaluation mechanism and blockchain

Abstract

Federated learning is a new distributed machine learning technology, where training tasks are deployed on user side and training model parameters are sent to the server side.In the whole process, participants do not need to share their own data directly, which greatly avoids privacy issues.However, the trust relationship between mobile users in the learning model has not been established in advance, there is hidden safety when users perform cooperative train with each other.In view of the above problems, a federated learning scheme for mobile network based on reputation evaluation mechanism and blockchain was proposed.The scheme allowed the server side to use subjective logic models to evaluate the reputation of participating mobile users and provided them with credible reputation opinions sharing environment and dynamic access strategy interface based on the technique of smart contract of blockchain.Theoretical and experimental analys is results show that the scheme can enable the server side to select reliable users for training.And it can achieve more fair and effective reputation calculations, which improves the accuracy of federated learning.
