Federated Learning: Training Models Without Centralized Data
Federated learning represents a paradigm shift in machine learning, enabling model training across distributed devices while keeping data local and private. This comprehensive guide explores the principles, algorithms, and applications of this revolutionary approach to collaborative AI.
Model Distribution: Send current global model to selected clients
Local Training: Each client trains a model on their own local data.
Model Aggregation: The server then averages the updates from all the clients to create an improved global model.
import torch.nn as nn
from syft.workers import VirtualWorker
# Create virtual workers (clients)
Frequently asked questions
How do I run the federated learning process?
Run federated learning
What does `state = federated_averaging_process.init` do?
state = federated_averaging_process.initialize()
What is the purpose of the `for round_num in range(10):` loop?
This loop iterates ten times, representing the training rounds within the federated learning process.
How do I retrieve the latest state and metrics from the federated averaging process?
The `federated_averaging_process.next(state, federated_train_data)` function updates the current state and collects relevant performance metrics after each round of training.
