Abstract
A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for training a global machine learning model. A hierarchical structure for nodes in which the global machine learning model is located at a primary node in the hierarchical structure is identified. Authorized nodes in which local data is authorized for use in training in the authorized nodes for a local training of local machine learning models are determined. The machine learning models in the authorized nodes are trained using the local data in the authorized nodes to generate local model updates to weights in the local machine learning models. The local model updates to the weights are propagated upward in the hierarchical structure to the global machine learning model, wherein a node receiving local model updates to the weights from nodes from a lower level aggregates the weights in the local model updates received from the nodes in the lower level.
