چکیده: Abstract: In traditional Internet of Things (IoT) systems, the data stored on edge devices are typically ‎transferred to a centralized server for training or updating machine learning models. However, ‎accessing the necessary data for training accurate models can be challenging and costly, especially in ‎cases where labeled data is limited. These challenges lead to two main issues: privacy concerns and the ‎scarcity of sufficient data for training models in the field of machine learning. In this thesis, we present ‎several federated machine learning models based on few-shot learning, including ResFed, to address ‎these challenges, with a focus on improving model accuracy with limited data. In the proposed multi-‎stage federated meta-learning approach, edge nodes are trained within a centralized architecture, which ‎leads to faster learning and model adaptation in scenarios with small datasets. In the proposed method, ‎to mitigate the impact of limited data in the training dataset, data augmentation techniques are first used ‎to increase the number of training samples. A feature extractor is then employed to learn a ‎representation on the base set, and subsequently, classification is performed in the meta-learning stage.‎ However, federated learning faces challenges such as bandwidth limitations and system and data ‎heterogeneity across edge devices, which makes simultaneous model updates across all devices ‎impractical. In this thesis, new methods for the optimal management of device resources and their ‎effective selection are also introduced. The proposed approaches, including AdaptFFSL-DS and ‎AdaptLightFedDS, leverage dual reinforcement learning to optimize device selection and adjust their ‎participation levels in the learning process. These methods strike a balance between model accuracy and ‎communication cost, taking into account system and data heterogeneity. Ultimately, the proposed ‎AdaptLightFFSL-DSmethod, based on reinforcement learning, is introduced for optimal device selection ‎in few-shot learning within a federated environment. This approach aims to improve the performance of ‎learning models. The results from the implementation of these methods demonstrate that the proposed ‎approaches can effectively address the challenges in federated learning with limited data and enhance ‎system efficiency.‎
