摘要

Big data analytics has enabled highly accurate customer segmentation, but centralized machine learning approaches raise serious concerns about privacy, algorithmic bias, and regulatory compliance. This paper introduces FedXAI-Seg, a novel framework that combines Federated Learning (FL) with SHAP-based Explainable AI (XAI) to perform RFM-based customer segmentation in a private, fair, and transparent manner. In FedXAI-Seg, local models are trained on distributed client data without sharing raw records; only differentially private model updates are exchanged, providing formal (ε = 1.0, δ = 10⁻⁵) privacy guarantees. Fairness is monitored using Demographic Parity Difference (DPD), Equalized Odds Difference (EOD), and Average Odds Difference (AOD). Experiments on the UCI Online Retail and Bank Marketing datasets show that FedXAI-Seg achieves a Silhouette Score of 0.631 (within 6.1% of the centralized baseline), reduces DPD by 71.1%, and lowers membership inference attack success rates by 30.9%. The framework is designed in compliance with GDPR Articles 5, 22, and 25, and the EU AI Act governance requirements.
