Global Posterior

Global posterior estimation in federated learning aims to collaboratively infer a shared model from decentralized data held by multiple clients, while preserving data privacy. Current research focuses on improving the efficiency and accuracy of this process, employing Bayesian methods like expectation propagation and approximate message passing, often within a variational inference framework, to address challenges posed by data heterogeneity and communication limitations. These advancements are crucial for scaling machine learning to large, distributed datasets and enhancing the robustness and reliability of predictions in diverse applications.
