Personalized Federated Learning

In the standard Federated Learning (FL) paradigm, multiple clients aim to learn models cooperatively without directly sharing their private data. However, clients may have different data distributions and training objectives that cannot be customized in FL. As a result, the performance of the learned model is downgraded, and FL learning cannot fully mine the data of clients, especially clients with non-iid data. My research explores the possibility of personalized FL architecture and FL aggregation algorithms to achieve personalized learning objectives for each client and minimize/remove the performance sacrifice of any other client. The research progress and outcomes are distributed in the paper collection.

VR Cybersecurity Education for Middle School Students

This is an NSA/NSF GenCyber program supported project. We build six modules: Digital Footprints, Trojan Horse/Ransomware, Cryptography, Hacking Ethics, Authentication & Authorization, and Phishing to augment cybersecurity education for middle school students using VR lectures and games. A video of this project will be posted when it is fully completed in Summer 2024.
