Federated Machine Learning: Concept and Applications

Yang, Qiang, Liu, Yang, Chen, Tianjian, Tong, Yongxin·2019·ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology

Abstract

Today’s artificial intelligence still faces two major challenges. One is that, in most industries, data exists in the form of isolated islands. The other is the strengthening of data privacy and security. We propose a possible solution to these challenges: secure federated learning. Beyond the federated-learning framework first proposed by Google in 2016, we introduce a comprehensive secure federated-learning framework, which includes horizontal federated learning, vertical federated learning, and federated transfer learning. We provide definitions, architectures, and applications for the federated-learning framework, and provide a comprehensive survey of existing works on this subject. In addition, we propose building data networks among organizations based on federated mechanisms as an effective solution to allowing knowledge to be shared without compromising user privacy.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • A secure aggregation scheme for safe FL systems is proposed to provide the strongest possible security with respect to server-mediated, unauthenticated network conditions.

    “Moreover, the study in [191] proposes a secure aggregation scheme for safe FL systems, in order to provide the strongest possible security with respect server-mediated, unauthenticated network conditions.”
  • In some specific learning scenarios, such as federated learning, the training dataset may not be accessible, and thus retraining cannot be conducted at all.

    “Moreover, in some specific learning scenarios, such as federated learning [31, 32], the training dataset may not be accessible, and thus retraining cannot be conducted at all.”

  • TFedRec trains a model by transferring knowledge from source to target domain parties without revealing user privacy.

    “TFedRec trains a model by transferring knowledge from source to target domain parties without revealing user privacy [135-137].”
  • Model training can still be scheduled on fog nodes by leveraging federated learning.

    “Nevertheless, model training can still be scheduled on fog nodes by leveraging federated learning [60].”
  • Different data owners collaboratively train a model, whose performance is expected to match the performance of the model directly trained on the union of all data [60].

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
