Federated Learning Algorithm

Federated learning (FL) is a distributed machine learning approach that trains models on decentralized data without directly sharing sensitive information. Current research focuses on improving the robustness and efficiency of FL algorithms like FedAvg and FedProx, particularly in addressing data heterogeneity across participating devices and mitigating the impact of uneven client participation. This is achieved through techniques such as variance reduction, adaptive learning rates, and novel aggregation strategies, with a growing emphasis on balancing privacy preservation with model accuracy. The impact of FL extends to various applications, including healthcare and IoT, where data privacy is paramount.
