Federated learning has become a pivotal distributed learning paradigm, involving collaborative model updates across multiple nodes with private data. However, handling non-i.i.d. (not identically and independently distributed) data and ensuring model consistency across heterogeneous environments present significant challenges. These challenges often lead to model performance degradation and increased difficulty in achieving effective communication among participant models. In this work, we propose Confusion-Resistant Federated Learning via Consistent Diffusion (CRFed), a novel framework designed to address these issues. Our approach introduces a new diffusion-based data harmonization mechanism that includes data augmentation, noise injection, and iterative denoising to ensure consistent model updates across non-i.i.d. data distributions. This mechanism aims to reduce data distribution disparities among participating nodes, enhancing the coordination and consistency of model updates. Moreover, we design a confusion-resistant strategy leveraging an indicator function and adaptive learning rate adjustment to mitigate the adverse effects of data heterogeneity and model inconsistency. Specifically, we calculate importance sampling weights based on the optimal sampling probability, which guides the selection of clients and the sampling of their data, ensuring that model updates are robust and aligned across different nodes. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets, including MNIST, FashionMNIST, CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and NIPD, demonstrate the effectiveness of CRFed in improving accuracy, convergence speed, and overall robustness in federated learning scenarios with severe data heterogeneity.
