VFL Algorithm

Vertical Federated Learning (VFL) is a machine learning paradigm enabling collaborative model training across multiple parties holding disjoint features of the same data samples, without directly sharing raw data. Current research emphasizes improving VFL's efficiency and security, focusing on techniques like homomorphic encryption, efficient matrix multiplication methods, and novel algorithms to mitigate backdoor attacks and handle unreliable connectivity or straggler clients. These advancements are crucial for enabling secure and practical applications of VFL in sensitive domains like healthcare and finance, where data privacy is paramount.
