CAEFL: composable and environment aware federated learning models
Ruomeng Xu, Anna Lito Michala, Phil W. Trinder · 2022
Federated Learning allows multiple distributed agents to contribute to a global machine learning model. Each agent trains locally and contributes to a global model by sending gradients to a central parameter server. The approach has some limitations: 1) some events may only occur in the local environment, so a global model may not perform as well as a specialized model; 2) changes in the local environment may require an agent to use some dedicated model, that is not available in a single global model; 3) a single global model approach is unable to derive new models from dealing with complex environments.
