Federated Learning (FL) allows training a shared machine learning model while keeping data local to clients.
The widely used FedAvg algorithm shows a decrease in learning accuracy as the number of clients increases.
To address this issue, a method called Knowledgeable Client Insertion (KCI) is proposed, which introduces a small number of knowledgeable clients with large sets of data samples.
The KCI approach improves the learning accuracy of FL even with the normal FedAvg aggregation technique, providing privacy protection for clients against security attacks.
