Federated learning
FL has emerged as a solution to address the challenges of traditional centralized Machine Learning (ML) approaches in scenarios where data privacy and data locality are of paramount importance.
The key reasons that we need FL are as follows:
- Preserving data privacy: In many situations, data is sensitive and cannot be shared due to legal, ethical, or privacy concerns. FL enables you to train models directly on distributed data sources without sharing the raw data, ensuring privacy protection. By keeping data local and performing model updates locally, FL minimizes the risk of exposing sensitive information.
- Data localization and regulatory compliance: FL allows organizations to comply with data localization requirements and regulations. Instead of transferring data to a central server, data remains within the jurisdiction where it is generated or collected, addressing concerns related to cross-border data transfers.
- Scalability and efficiency: Centralized...
