Federated learning marks a milestone in enhancing collaborative model AI training. It is shifting the main approach to machine learning, moving away from the traditional centralized training methods towards more decentralized ones. Data is scattered, and we need to leverage it as training data where it exists.
This paradigm is nothing new. I was playing around with it in the 1990s. What’s old is new again… again. Federated learning allows for the collaborative training of machine learning models across multiple devices or servers, harnessing their collective data without needing to exchange or centralize it. Why should you care? Security and privacy, that’s why.
