Abstract
A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for incremental and decentralized pruning of a machine learning model in federated learning. A federated learning system determines a serial sequence of participating in model pruning by agents in the federated learning system. A server in the federated learning system sends, to a first agent in the serial sequence, an initial model to trigger a federated pruning process for the machine learning model. The each of agents in the serial sequence prunes the machine learning model. The each of agents in the serial sequence generates an intermediately pruned model for an immediately next agent to prune. A final agent in the serial sequence prunes the machine learning model and generates a finally pruned model. The final agent sends the finally pruned model to the server.
