The core idea behind federated learning is that multiple agents (think mobile devices) can collaborate in mastering a specific task without relying on centralized training data. Think about a mobile ML models distributed in a mobile app across millions of devices. Ideally, the model can benefit from the data produced by each instance of the app, but that entails very concerning privacy vulnerabilities. Federated learning enables a way in which only updates on the model are distributed to a centralized location while the training data remains on the device. Since Google pioneered the idea of federated learning in 2017, it has become one of the most important methods for secured learning across many agents. However, federated learning implementation remains scarce, primarily due to its technical challenges. Simulating a large number of intelligent agents is not exactly an easy task. Among the labs advancing federated learning research, Microsoft and Google Research seem to be leading the charge. Last week, Microsoft Research open-sourced what can be considered one of the most important contributions to the short history of federated learning. Federated Learning Utilities and Tools for Experimentation (FLUTE) is a framework for running large-scale federated learning simulations. FLUTE provides an architecture that allows data scientists to simulate agent interactions in federated learning architectures and find the right balance between training data and privacy boundaries. The framework’s key contribution is to facilitate the experimentation in highly sophisticated federated learning scenarios without requiring large computation resources. Certainly, FLUTE is likely to play a pivotal role in advancing federated learning implementations in real-world scenarios. 🔺🔻TheSequence Scope – our Sunday edition with the industry’s development overview – is free.
