Abstract:
Embodiments relate to an input-encoding technique in conjunction with federation. Participating entities are arranged in a collaborative relationship. Each participating entity trains a machine learning model with an encoder on a training data set. The performance of each of the models is measured and at least one of the models is selectively identified based on the measured performance. An encoder of the selectively identified machine learning model is shared with each of the participating entities. The shared encoder is configured to be applied by the participating entities to train the first and second machine learning models, which are configured to be merged and shared in the federated learning environment.
