Implementing a hybrid federated learning framework with neural network optimisation for improved artificial intelligence model performance

Abstract

This thesis focuses on the design and implementation of a hybrid Federated Learning (FL) framework aimed at optimizing the performance of artificial intelligence models in distributed, sensitive, and dynamic environments such as 5G networks, IoT systems, and autonomous vehicles. By combining techniques like Federated Averaging, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), and cloud/container technologies, it proposes a flexible three-tier architecture (client–edge–cloud) that incorporates heuristics for intelligent client selection, communication cost reduction, and enhanced data privacy. Additionally, a strategy tailoring tool (FLATT) is developed, enabling designers to configure and adapt FL strategies dynamically at runtime based on the specific requirements of the application domain. The study demonstrates that traditional FL strategies have reached their limitations in terms of performance, accuracy, and handling non-IID (non-independent and identically distributed) data. Through the inte ...
