文摘传统联邦学习训练模型时假定所有参与方可信,但实际场景存在恶意参与方或恶意攻击模型,现有的联邦学习算法面对投毒攻击时,存在模型性能严重下降的问题。针对模型投毒问题,本文提出一种基于联邦平均(federated averaging,Fedavg)与异常检测的联邦检测算法——FedavgCof,该算法考虑到所有参与方之间的差异对比,在中心服务器和本地模型之间添加异常检测层,通过基于聚类的本地异常检测因子(cluster-based local outlier factor,COF)异常检测算法剔除影响模型性能的异常参数,提升模型鲁棒性。实验结果表明,虽然新型投毒方式攻击性更强,但是FedavgCof能够有效防御投毒攻击,降低模型性能损失,提高模型抗投毒攻击能力,相较于Median和模型清洗算法平均提升精度达到10%以上,大幅提升了模型的安全性。
