Abstract: Federated learning enables multiple distributed devices to collaboratively learn a shared prediction model without centralizing their on-device data. Most of the current algorithms require comparable individual efforts for local training with the same structure and size of on-device models, which, however, impedes participation from resource-constrained devices such as wearable healthcare devices. To cope with heterogeneous devices, we propose a new federated learning framework with heterogeneous on-device models through Zero-shot Knowledge Transfer, called FedZKT. Specifically, FedZKT allows devices to independently determine their on-device models according to their own local resources. This talk presents the design of FedZKT, the effectiveness and robustness of FedZKT towards on-device knowledge agnostic, on-device model heterogeneity, and other challenging federated learning scenarios, such as heterogeneous on-device data and straggler effects.

Abstract: Healthcare is a fundamental human need that has been revolutionized by computing in the past century. Technology has transformed the way we approach healthcare from paper and pencil to individual computers, to connected devices via the internet, and now to wireless and mobile smartphones and wearables. In recent years, sensors have been integrated into these mobile and wearable devices, making healthcare a potential killer application for wearables. Additionally, non-contact sensing based on radio technologies is emerging as a promising new approach. As mobile and wearable computing can potentially dominate the healthcare landscape, I am excited to introduce three wearable computing platforms that my research group has been developing for Parkinson's Disease patients and other subjects for gait and motion analysis and real-time intervention. These platforms include IMU, magnet, and textile sensors. Using these sensors, we can provide personalized and targeted interventions to improve patient outcomes and well-being.
