Heterogeneous Model
Heterogeneous model research focuses on developing and deploying machine learning models with diverse architectures, training data, and computational resources. Current efforts concentrate on efficient aggregation techniques for combining knowledge from these disparate models, including methods like likelihood composition, low-rank factorization, and knowledge distillation, often within federated learning frameworks. This work is crucial for improving the scalability, robustness, and privacy of machine learning systems, particularly in resource-constrained or distributed environments like those found in medical imaging, IoT applications, and personalized recommendation systems. The resulting advancements enhance the practical applicability of machine learning across a wider range of real-world scenarios.
