Federated Transfer Learning

Federated transfer learning (FTL) addresses the challenges of training machine learning models on decentralized, heterogeneous data while preserving privacy. Current research focuses on improving communication efficiency through feature-based approaches, mitigating vulnerabilities to backdoor attacks, and enhancing model adaptability across diverse tasks and domains using techniques like task personalization. FTL's significance lies in its ability to leverage distributed datasets for improved model performance in various applications, including medical diagnosis, industrial IoT security, and manufacturing condition monitoring, while respecting data privacy constraints.
