Federated Split Learning Model for Industry 5.0: A Data Poisoning Defense for Edge Computing

Industry 5.0 provides resource-efficient solutions compared to Industry 4.0. Edge Computing (EC) allows data analysis on edge devices. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the focus of interest in recent years, particularly in industrial applications. The coordination of AI at the edge will significantly improve industry performance. This paper integrates AI and EC for Industry 5.0 to defend against data poisoning attacks. A hostile user or node injects fictitious training data to distort the learned model in a data poisoning attack. This research provides an effective data poisoning defense strategy to increase the learning model’s performance. This paper developed a novel data poisoning defense federated split learning, DepoisoningFSL, for edge computing. First, a defense mechanism is proposed against data poisoning attacks. Second, the optimal parameters are determined for improving the performance of the federated split learning model. Finally, the performance of the proposed work is evaluated with a real-time dataset in terms of accuracy, correlation coefficient, mean absolute error, and root mean squared error. The experimental results show that DepoisoningFSL increases the performance accuracy.
