The next-generation mobile network aims to natively support distributed intelligence, such as federated learning, across massive wireless edge devices. Unfortunately, in the era of large models, the deployment of federated learning faces significant obstacles due to the limited resources on edge devices. In this talk, I will briefly introduce split learning (SL) and elucidate how it overcomes resource limitations via device-server co-training, thereby transforming next-generation edge AI. Then, I will present our recent work on adaptive split federated learning (AdaptSFL) in resource-constrained edge networks. Specifically, our work first provides a unified convergence analysis of split federated learning (SFL) to quantify the impact of model splitting and client-side model aggregation on the learning performance, based on which the AdaptSFL framework is developed to adaptively control model splitting and client-side model aggregation to balance communication-computing latency and training convergence in SFL. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in accelerating SFL under resource constraints. At last, I will conclude the talk by discussing open problems in SL at the wireless edge.

Biography:

Prof. Xianhao Chen is  an assistant professor at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the University of Hong Kong, and the Principal Investigator (PI) of the Wireless Information & Intelligence (WILL) lab. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Florida in 2022, supervised by Prof. Yuguang Fang, and my B.Eng. degree from Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu, China, in 2017, supervised by Prof. Gang Liu. My research interests include wireless networks, edge computing, distributed learning, and network security.
