The proposed ClipFL framework addresses the challenge of noisy labels in Federated Learning (FL) by identifying and excluding noisy clients. This is achieved through a three-phase approach: pre-client pruning to calculate the Noise Candidacy Score (NCS), client pruning to exclude noisy clients, and post-client pruning for fine-tuning the global model. The framework outperforms state-of-the-art FL methods in terms of accuracy, convergence speed, and communication costs on diverse datasets with varying noise levels.

Federated Learning helps devices share knowledge without sharing data. But when devices have bad information, it can mess up the whole process. Scientists came up with a new way to deal with this problem called ClipFL. It looks at how well each device does and finds the ones that are wrong. Then, it gets rid of those bad devices and makes sure the good ones do their thing correctly. This helps make better decisions faster while also saving energy.
