Federated Tensor Decomposition-Based Feature Extraction Approach for Industrial IoT

Abstract

Data in modern industrial applications and data science present multidimensional progressively, the dimension and the structural complexity of these data are becoming extremely high, which renders existing data analysis methods and machine learning algorithms inadequate to the extent. In addition, high-dimensional data in actual scenarios often share some common latent components and patterns, it is necessary and significant to analyze such data in an associative manner, rather than treating them independently. Considering the problem of data islands and data privacy that is prevalent in the industry. In this article, we propose the first joint high-order orthogonal iterative (J-HOOI) algorithm for simultaneous tensor decomposition and federated tensor decomposition (FTD) model for feature extraction and dimension reduction of high-dimensional industrial data under the federated learning framework. Moreover, we also develop a secure federated computation process based on the J-HOOI method. Using this method, multiple participants iteratively calculate the local factor matrices and transfer the local information to the parameter server, which aggregates the local information to generate the globally updated factor matrices. Finally, each client generates globally compressed features by projecting local data onto these common potential spaces. We have demonstrated with real-world industrial datasets that our approach is similar to a centralized training model in decomposition accuracy and classification accuracy while respecting privacy.
