Abdelmoniem"],"abstract":"Federated learning (FL) is a newly emerged branch of AI that facilitates edge devices to collaboratively train a global machine learning model without centralizing data and with privacy by default. However, despite the remarkable advancement, this paradigm comes with various challenges. Specifically, in large-scale deployments, client heterogeneity is the norm which impacts training quality such as accuracy, fairness, and time. Moreover, energy consumption across these battery-constrained devices is largely unexplored and a limitation for wide-adoption of FL. To address this issue, we develop EAFL, an energy-aware FL selection method that considers energy consumption to maximize the participation of heterogeneous target devices. EAFL is a power-aware training algorithm that cherry-picks clients with higher battery levels in conjunction with its ability to maximize the system efficiency. Our design jointly minimizes the time-to-accuracy and maximizes the remaining on-device battery levels. EAFLimproves the testing model accuracy by up to 85\\% and decreases the drop-out of clients by up to 2.45$\\times$.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.04505v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2208.04505v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"eafl-towards-energy-aware-federated-learning","repo_url":"https://github.com/sayed-sys-lab/eafl","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"fairness","task_name":"Fairness"},{"task_slug":"federated-learning","task_name":"Federated Learning"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
