Serverless Federated AUPRC Optimization for Multi-Party Collaborative Imbalanced Data Mining

Multi-party collaborative training, such as distributed learning and federated learning, is used to address the big data challenges. However, traditional multi-party collaborative training algorithms were mainly designed for balanced data mining tasks and are intended to optimize accuracy (\emph{e.g.}, cross-entropy). The data distribution in many real-world applications is skewed and classifiers, which are trained to improve accuracy, perform poorly when applied to imbalanced data tasks since models could be significantly biased toward the primary class. Therefore, the Area Under Precision-Recall Curve (AUPRC) was introduced as an effective metric. Although single-machine AUPRC maximization methods have been designed, multi-party collaborative algorithm has never been studied. The change from the single-machine to the multi-party setting poses critical challenges. To address the above challenge, we study the serverless multi-party collaborative AUPRC maximization problem since serverless multi-party collaborative training can cut down the communications cost by avoiding the server node bottleneck, and reformulate it as a conditional stochastic optimization problem in a serverless multi-party collaborative learning setting and propose a new ServerLess biAsed sTochastic gradiEnt (SLATE) algorithm to directly optimize the AUPRC. After that, we use the variance reduction technique and propose ServerLess biAsed sTochastic gradiEnt with Momentum-based variance reduction (SLATE-M) algorithm to improve the convergence rate, which matches the best theoretical convergence result reached by the single-machine online method. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to solve the multi-party collaborative AUPRC maximization problem.
