Özet
Binary Neural Networks (BNNs) enable efficient edge deep learning, yet their sensitivity makes them vulnerable to noisy client data in Federated Learning (FL). In scenarios where clients have corrupted labels or noisy features, standard aggregation methods such as FedAvg struggle to mitigate the negative effects of erroneous updates, leading to severe global model instability. This paper proposes a robust aggregation method specifically designed to handle noisy client data by leveraging the local loss stability of BNNs. In our approach, the global model monitors the stability of each client's training process to assess their reliability and adjust their participation accordingly. Experimental results demonstrate that BNNs are highly sensitive to label noise, and the proposed model mitigates the negative effects of noisy clients while maintaining reasonable accuracy under aggressive noise conditions.
