Mechanisms for performing intelligent federated machine learning (ML) model updates are provided. A plurality of ML model updates, and a plurality of dataset sketch commitment data structures (sketches), are received from a plurality of participant computing systems. Each sketch provides statistical characteristics of a corresponding local dataset used by a corresponding participant to train a local ML model. A potentially malicious participant identification operation is performed based on an analysis of the plurality of sketches to identify one or more potentially malicious participants based on differences in sketches. ML model updates received from participant computing systems identified as potentially malicious participants are discarded to thereby generate a modified set of updates. The federated ML computer model is updated based on the modified set of updates.

A system comprises a processor and a memory storing instructions which when executed by the processor configure the processor to estimate a rack force for a steering system of a vehicle based on current driving and environmental conditions and estimate a health of an actuator of the steering system of the vehicle. The instructions configure the processor to estimate maximum achievable angle, velocity, and acceleration for the actuator of the steering system based on the estimated rack force and the estimated health of the actuator. The instructions configure the processor to provide to the steering system a path planned for the vehicle based on the estimated maximum achievable angle, velocity, and acceleration for the actuator of the steering system.

A processor may record one or more transaction proposals regardless of validity of the one or more transaction proposals. The processor may separate a transaction validation into a series of steps. The processor may validate, asynchronously, one or more transactions respectively associated with each of the one or more transaction proposals based on the transaction validation.

A processor may define an available resource set in the blockchain network. The available resource set may be the one or more peers. The processor may collect one or more metrics associated with the one or more peers in the blockchain network. The processor may analyze the one or more metrics and may identify a first workload level for the one or more peers. The processor may determine an optimal status for a first particular peer of the one or more peers, based in part on the available resource set and the first workload level. The processor may compare the optimal status to a current status of the first particular peer. The processor may determine if the optimal status and the current status are different. The processor may execute a status change of the first particular peer from the current status to the optimal status.

In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for performing data pre-processing operations during data preparation of a machine learning lifecycle. The method includes defining one or more data pre-processing functions for applying to data stored in a dataset, executing one or more learn functions for learning the data, and executing one or more transform functions for transforming the data. Each of the one or more learn functions generates a first Structured Query Language (SQL) statement representing a definition of corresponding learn function for corresponding defined data pre-processing function. Each of the one or more transform functions generates a second SQL statement representing a definition of corresponding transform function for corresponding defined data pre-processing function. The dataset is stored in a database.

An example operation may include one or more of transmitting an inquiry to a blockchain peer, where the inquiry comprises a trigger to invoke a chaincode installed on the blockchain peer, receiving a response from the blockchain peer based on a chaincode execution of the blockchain peer, determining a latency value of the blockchain peer based on the response, and storing an identifier of the blockchain peer among identifiers of a group of blockchain peers, where an order of the identifiers of the group of blockchain peers are arranged based on respective latency values.
