How do different algorithms work? #660

Open caozhantao opened 1 year ago

caozhantao commented 1 year ago

Hello，I want to ask for a help： In the "main_fedml_image_segmentation. py" file of the fedcv module, "SegmentationTrainer. py" and "SegmentationAggregator. py" under the "image_segmentation/trainer" module are imported during training. Suppose I modify different algorithms in "fedml_config. yaml", such as FedAvg, FedOpt, FedProx, but still use the same SegmentationTrainer and SegmentationAggregator, without any difference? How should different algorithms be implemented? In fedcv/segmentation， how do the algorithms in fedml/simulation/mpi work? They are all the same?

First of all look at these files and make sure your code is actually going into the right path as you change the algorithm.

1) python/fedml/cross_silo/fedml_server.py 2) python/fedml/ml/aggregator/agg_operator.py

In the second file, you may see various algorithms which may take action once you change the algorithm in a config file. In the first file, you might wanna create additional conditions to activate your new algorithm hence this file only has conditions for two algorithms (FedAvg and LSA).

P.S. I don;t know what LSA is actually :-)
