Topic: 

Federated Learning : The Era of Edge AI

Abstract: 

The B5G/6G mobile telecommunication systems expect to realize emerging Internet of Things (IoT) applications with the help of edge AI by the marriage of edge/fog computing and artificial intelligence (AI). Recently, Google has advocated Federated Learning (FL), a new kind of privacy-preserving edge learning framework, to boost edge AI. In this talk, we will give a brief intro to FL technology and show an exemplary AIoT service platform for realizing mobile video analysis. Then, we will discuss two existing privacy and security threats in the FL system triggered by malicious end devices and the abnormal aggregator. Finally, we will demonstrate some future FL research directions.
