Federated meta learning: a review by Chuanyao ZHANG, Shijing SI, Jianzong WANG, Jing XIAO

“…With the popularity of mobile devices, massive amounts of data are constantly produced.The data privacy policies are becoming more and more specified, the flow and use of data are strictly regulated.Federated learning can break data barriers and use client data for modeling.Because users have different habits, there are significant differences between different client data.How to solve the statistical challenge caused by the data imbalance becomes an important topic in federated learning research.Using the fast learning ability of meta learning, it becomes an important way to train different personalized models for different clients to solve the problem of data imbalance in federated learning.The definition and classification of federated learning, as well as the main problems of federated learning were introduced systematically based on the background of federated learning.The main problems included privacy protection, data heterogeneity and limited communication.The research work of federated metalearning in solving the heterogeneous data, the limited communication environment, and improving the robustness against malicious attacks were introduced systematically starting from the background of federated meta learning.Finally, the summary and prospect of federated meta learning were proposed.…”

Improved SpaceTwist privacy protection method based on anchor optimization algorithm by Zhen-peng LIU, Xuan ZHAO, Ya-wei DONG, Bin ZHANG

“…With location-based services worldwide used,private location data appealed easily in query process which caused serious security problems.So the introduction of SpaceTwist incremental nearest neighbor query algorithm,proposes protection of privacy method combined with improved SpaceTwist location optimization algorithm.The anchor point authentication server added to distributed system structure,user generate a k anonymous area according to their privacy preference and actual environment,using optimization algorithm to generate the anchor point.Forwarding users use the incremental nearest neighbor query throught the anchor point and accurate.Experiments in road network environment with different data sets show that the privacy protection works well in the algorithm,and own high work efficiency.…”

Dynamic game and reliable recommendation based transferring reputation mechanism for mobile cloud computing by Hui LIN, Mengyang YU, Youliang TIAN, Yijie HUANG

“…The booming development of the mobile internet and cloud computing leads to the emerging of many mobile cloud platforms based services.However,since mobile users store lots of data and privacy information in the cloud when they are using the mobile cloud services,they are facing multiple increasingly serious security threats such as data leaks and privacy exposures.The data security and privacy protection was investigated in mobile cloud computing,aiming at the internal bad mouthing attacks and mobile attacks.A dynamic game and reliable recommendation based transferring reputation mechanism was proposed.First,a dynamic game based recommendation incentive mechanism was proposed.Secondly,a reliable recommendation reputation evaluation model was established based on the incentive mechanism.Last,a novel transferring reputation mechanism was proposed that combined the above mentioned incentive mechanism and reputation evaluation model.Simulation results demonstrate the proposed transferring reputation mechanism can defend against the internal bad mouthing attacks and mobile attacks effectively,enhance the credibility of mobile terminals and improve the data security and privacy protection of mobile cloud services.…”

Online medical privacy protection strategy under information value-added mechanism by Shengzhi MING, Jianming ZHU, Zhiyuan SUI, Xian ZHANG

“…China’s economic level and people’s living standards have developed rapidly in recent years, and the medical level and medical technology have made breakthroughs continuously.With the promotion and deepening of“Internet Plus” to business model innovation in various fields, the development of “Internet Plus” medical has been rapidly developed.Due to the continuous development of data processing technologies such as machine learning and data mining, the risk of users’ personal medical data disclosure in the process of online medical treatment has also attracted the attention of researchers.Considering the deductibility of information, the discount mechanism was adopted to describe the change of user’s private information value in different stages of the game.Combined with the current research status in the field of online medical privacy protection motivation, how to mobilize the enthusiasm of both players from the level of privacy protection motivation was explored with game analysis.In view of the game characteristics of users’ strong willingness to continually use the online medical platform and intermittently provide privacy, the repeated game method was adopted to better describe the game process between users and the online medical platform.The tendency change law of the players on both sides of the game was obtained.Moreover, the Nash equilibrium of the game model was analyzed under different model parameters and the change trend of the game strategy of both sides with the progress of the game stage.When the parameters were met 2(c_p-c_n)≥l_p(p_n-p_p), the user started to choose from “agree to share private data” to “refuse to share private data”.The above conclusion was verified by simulation experiments.Based on the above conclusions, from the perspective of online medical platform and users, policy suggestions on how to realize privacy protection from the level of privacy protection motivation in the process of online medical treatment were given.…”
