- 7.8. 14:15 Prof. Razane Tajeddine (American University of Beirut): Privacy and Fairness in Federated Learning – M2 (M233)
As machine learning becomes more widely used, the use of big data is a requirement. However, the data often contains sensitive information of the participating users, and is many times divided between different clients or parties. This is why federated learning is used to allow those parties to collaborate to train a model without sharing their raw data with the other parties or the central server. Despite this, federated learning does not necessarily prevent sensitive data from leaking during the training from model updates. Moreover, it may lead to biases due to the data heterogeneity from different sources. This talk will discuss the current state and challenges of privacy and fairness in federated learning.
