Federated learning (FL) is a widely acknowledged distributed training paradigm that preserves the privacy of data on participating clients, and has become the de facto standard for distributed machine learning across a large number of edge devices. Conventional FL, however, has a rather rigid design, where the server is the dominant player that selects a subset of its clients to participate in each communication round, and clients are merely followers, and are not offered the freedom to accept or decline invitations from the server to participate. In addition, clients may become unavailable or very slow due to a wide variety of reasons, yet it may take an excessive amount of time for a conventional FL server to recognize that a particular client is unavailable. In this paper, we advocate for a more pragmatic paradigm in federated learning, called democratic federated learning, to offer more freedom to both servers and clients with respect to the ability to accept or decline requests, and to explicitly request to participate. In contrast to conventional federated learning, our paradigm allows (1) both the server and clients to participate and withdraw from the federated learning process at any time; (2) the server to decide whether to reject clients' updates based on the current model convergence steps, i.e., after satisfying the minimum required clients' updates received; and (3) the clients to adjust the local epochs based on their own training and communication time. Our experimental results on a variety of datasets and models have confirmed that democratic federated learning not only accelerates the convergence process but also improves the accuracy of converged models, and serves as a foundation for future explorations into client-centric models within the FL ecosystem.

Capacitive isolation is a potential alternative to magnetics-based isolation in emerging applications, such as in partial power processing converter topologies, and in applications where weight and component volume are limiting factors. This work presents a capacitively-isolated Cockcroft-Walton converter capable of isolation through the flying capacitors. Generalized equations for mid-range flying capacitor voltages and switch voltages for converters of even level count are detailed. Experimental results validate the topology and analysis with a hardware prototype demonstrating 120 V input, 93.87% efficiency, and up to 60 V of isolation.

The integration of drone technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has opened up new possibilities for wildlife conservation and habitat monitoring. In this paper, we present a new system for efficiently and accurately analyzing waterfowl populations and classifying their habitats over large natural areas using drone imagery and deep learning (DL). Given a sequence of drone images captured by a drone along a flight path, the system utilizes customized deep learning models for waterfowl detection and counting, Meta’s SAM for image segmentation and customized deep learning models for segment classification, and ChatGPT to generate text-based survey reports. Several image overlap detection methods were developed and compared with. Our experimental results show accurate waterfowl and habitat detection results and improvement over previous work, providing efficient and accurate data analysis for wildlife conservation efforts.
