Federated Image Classification
Federated image classification focuses on training accurate image classification models collaboratively across multiple decentralized devices without directly sharing sensitive data. Current research emphasizes improving efficiency and robustness, exploring various weight aggregation strategies, and addressing challenges like non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) data and communication overhead. This field is significant for enabling privacy-preserving machine learning in diverse applications, such as healthcare and manufacturing, where data is often siloed and sensitive. Active research areas include developing novel aggregation algorithms, adapting existing architectures (e.g., EfficientNet, ResNet, SVMs) to the federated setting, and enhancing model interpretability.
