Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: Federated Negative Distillation
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide a statement about the release of open-source code or a link to a code repository.
Open Datasets Yes In the experiments, we adopt CIFAR-10 and CIFAR100 (Krizhevsky and Hinton 2009) to verify the efficacy of the proposed method... We use 128 images from Image Net (Russakovsky et al. 2015) as DU for training CIFAR-100.
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions using "the official testing data split by the benchmark" for the test set, but it does not explicitly state details for training, validation, or their respective splits.
Hardware Specification Yes All experiments are run by Py Torch on two NVIDIA Ge Force RTX 3090 GPUs.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions 'Py Torch' but does not specify a version number or other software dependencies with versions.
Experiment Setup Yes For local training, the batch size is set at 32. We use SGD with a learning rate 0.05 as the optimizer for optimization processes. The threshold λ for the identification of EN client is set at 0.12. By default, we run 100 communication rounds to present the experimental results. The total number of clients is set at 20, and an active client ratio 50% is maintained in each round.
