Differential Optimization Federated Incremental Learning Algorithm Based on Blockchain

Federated learning is a hot area of concern in the field of privacy protection. There are local model parameters that are difficult to integrate, poor model timeliness, and local model training security issues. This paper proposes a blockchain-based differential optimization federated incremental learning algorithm, First, we apply differential privacy to the weighted random forest and optimize the parameters in the weighted forest to reduce the impact of adding differential privacy on the accuracy of the local model. Using different ensemble algorithms to integrate the local model parameters can improve the accuracy of the global model. At the same time, the risk of a data leakage caused by gradient update is reduced; then, incremental learning is applied to the framework of federated learning to improve the timeliness of the model; finally, the model parameters in the model training phase are uploaded to the blockchain and synchronized quickly, which reduces the cost of data storage and model parameter transmission. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the stacking ensemble model in each period is above 83.5% and the variance is lower than 10−4 for training on the public data set. The accuracy of the model has been improved, and the security and privacy of the model have been improved.
