Examination of the effects of label-flipping attacks on federated machine learning. Experiments show these attacks have a limited impact on the global model's accuracy compared to centralized training, due to the federated averaging process limiting malicious clients' influence.

Using FEDn, this post demonstrates cross-device federated learning with intermittently connected clients. It sets up a local dev environment where clients randomly connect, train a model briefly, then disconnect - repeating the cycle. Results show FEDn can robustly train models under intermittent conditions, bridging research to production deployments.

We're integrating federated learning to create an innovative intrusion detection system that enhances privacy and threat detection. This approach promises a secure, privacy-focused IoT, leveraging decentralized data without compromise. More details in the post and follow for updates.

Diving into the world of federated learning, this text introduces and explores Scaleout's innovative software suite, specifically its key components, FEDn and Studio, and how they collaboratively deliver a powerful solution for federated machine learning initiatives.

Federated machine learning provides a solution to stringent data privacy regulations by allowing model training without centralizing data, turning developers into smart service providers.

Scaleout Systems, tackling data security and privacy in AI, secured seed funding.

An overview of the Vinnova-sponsored project: Validating a System Development Kit for Edge Federated Learning.

The Scaleout Studio platform update includes a redesigned user interface for easier management of Federated Learning Networks, a streamlined process for adding clients, improved training session management, and better monitoring of session progress and model outcomes. The release also introduces a new REST-API, APIClient, and extensively updated documentation.

The FEDn version 0.7.0 introduces significant enhancements including the integration of Python's logging framework for client-side logging, compatibility improvements for Windows users, and substantial refactoring of the gRPC server for better scalability and efficiency. This update brings a more robust and user-friendly experience to our users, particularly in managing client-server interactions and data handling.

As the field of machine learning evolves, the need for enhanced data privacy and security has given rise to federated machine learning. This approach decentralizes the data, addressing key privacy concerns and providing innovative solutions to traditional machine learning challenges. Explore how federated machine learning works, its benefits, potential risks, and the measures taken to fortify its security and privacy in the following discussion.

Real-world federated learning software must be robust, resilient, and scalable, as well as being capable of handling large numbers of edge-clients and model sizes. Scaleout is designed to meet these demands.

Federated Learning merges client model updates into a global server model. It involves data transfer, aggregation like FedAvg, and focuses on secure, scalable implementation. FEDn enhances this with a flexible plugin architecture.

In enjoying the convenience of AI tools, we've unknowingly traded data privacy, leaving trails of personal information ready for analysis. However, with the arrival of federated learning and data minimization principles, a new era calls where efficiency doesn't come at the cost of privacy, ensuring a balanced relationship between technological advancement and personal data security.

Right now, when doctors use software to help them with image-guided therapy, they have to do a lot of work themselves. Much of their focus goes towards the equipment rather than spending as much of their time as possible with the patient. This can be improved.

In this article, we explore a recommended path towards responsible, compliant machine learning on regulated data, which involves applying data minimization principles and relevant privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) to your ML systems.

We're excited to announce Scaleout Studio - a key addition to our software suite. With Studio we offer a secure and privacy-enhancing ML platform that is simple to install, whether on-site or on a private cloud.

Private AI as a concept aims to ensure that sensitive, private and regulated data remains secure even as it is used to train and deploy machine learning models.

This update brings a more robust and user-friendly experience to our users, particularly in managing client-server interactions and data handling.
