Federated Learning Consensus

Definition

Federated learning consensus combines federated learning, a decentralized machine learning approach, with a consensus mechanism, often found in blockchain technology. In this system, multiple participants collaboratively train a shared model without exchanging their raw data, preserving privacy. A consensus mechanism then validates and aggregates the locally trained model updates to produce a final, globally agreed-upon model. This approach aims to achieve collective intelligence while maintaining data sovereignty and security.
