Decentralized Learning

Definition

Decentralized learning describes machine learning processes where data and model training occur across multiple independent nodes or devices. This approach contrasts with traditional centralized methods by distributing computational tasks and avoiding the aggregation of raw data in a single location. It often involves techniques like federated learning, where models are trained locally and only aggregated updates are shared. This method enhances data privacy and reduces reliance on central servers, aligning with blockchain principles.
