Query: A Closer Look at Personalization in Federated Image Classification   Federated Learning (FL) is developed to learn a single global model across
the decentralized data, while is susceptible when realizing client-specific
personalization in the presence of statistical heterogeneity. However, studies
focus on learning a robust global model or personalized classifiers, which
yield divergence due to inconsistent objectives. This paper shows that it is
possible to achieve flexible personalization after the convergence of the
global model by introducing representation learning. In this paper, we first
analyze and determine that non-IID data harms representation learning of the
global model. Existing FL methods adhere to the scheme of jointly learning
representations and classifiers, where the global model is an average of
classification-based local models that are consistently subject to
heterogeneity from non-IID data. As a solution, we separate representation
learning from classification learning in FL and propose RepPer, an independent
two-stage personalized FL framework.We first learn the client-side feature
representation models that are robust to non-IID data and aggregate them into a
global common representation model. After that, we achieve personalization by
learning a classifier head for each client, based on the common representation
obtained at the former stage. Notably, the proposed two-stage learning scheme
of RepPer can be potentially used for lightweight edge computing that involves
devices with constrained computation power.Experiments on various datasets
(CIFAR-10/100, CINIC-10) and heterogeneous data setup show that RepPer
outperforms alternatives in flexibility and personalization on non-IID data.
