Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative model training across distributed edge devices while preserving data privacy, and typically operates in a round-based synchronous manner. However, synchronous FL suffers from latency bottlenecks…
Data augmentation is widely used for training a neural network given little labeled data. A common practice of augmentation training is applying a composition of multiple transformations sequentially to the data. Existing augmentation…
