Local Model

Local models in machine learning focus on training individual models on subsets of data, often within decentralized or federated learning frameworks, to address data heterogeneity and privacy concerns. Current research emphasizes techniques like neural tangent kernels for improved convergence and model averaging to enhance accuracy in heterogeneous settings, along with personalized federated learning approaches using Bayesian optimization, mixture-of-experts models, and adaptive parameter selection to tailor models to individual data distributions. This research is significant for improving the efficiency and robustness of machine learning in diverse and privacy-sensitive applications, such as healthcare, personalized recommendations, and collaborative model training across multiple institutions.
