Federated Orthogonal Training: Mitigating Global Catastrophic Forgetting in Continual Federated Learning - ICLR 2024
The paper link : https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.01289.pdf
We run the simulation experiment with the FedML packages provided in FedAudio.
To setup the environment:
conda env create -f fot.yml
conda activate fot
You also need to downloads dataset first to run the experiments.
cd experiment
python download_datasets.py
Our code monitorizes the results in wandb. To enable wandb go to line 396 in experiment/main.py and provide your wandb account's credentials.
wandb.init(
mode="disabled",#make enabled after giving correct credentials
project="FOT",
entity="your-entity-name",
)The code provides the evaluation results during the training through wandb. To run the experiments of FOT, use the following commands:

If you want to try FedAvg instead of FOT just replace orth to normal in the command.
The results should be in the range of standart deviation in the Table 1 below.
Table 1: Performance results of different methods on various datasets. ACC (higher is better) stands for average classification accuracy of each task, while FGT (lower is better) denotes average forgetting as. We run each experiment 3 times and provide mean and standard deviation.
