Keywords: Unsupervised Federated Learning for Face Recognition in Decentralized Environments
Abstract: Recent advancements in face recognition involve training on a single computer, often containing sensitive personal information, raising privacy concerns. To address this, attention turns to federated learning for unsupervised face recognition, leveraging decentralized edge devices. Each device independently undergoes model training, transmitting results to a secure aggregator. We utilize GANs to diversify data without the need for transmission, thereby preserving privacy throughout the entire process. The aggregator integrates these diverse models into a single global model, which is then transmitted back to the edge devices for continued improvement. Experiments on CelebA datasets demonstrate that federated learning not only preserves privacy but also maintains high levels of performance.
