Abstract

Methods and systems for decentralized federated learning are described. Each client participating the training of a local machine learning model identifies one or more neighbor clients in direct communication with itself. Each client transmits to its neighbor clients a weighting coefficient and a set of local model parameters for the local model. Each client also receives from its neighbor clients respective sets of local model parameters and respective weighting coefficients. Each client updates its own set of local model parameters using a weighted aggregation of the received sets of local model parameters, each received set of local model parameters being weighted with the respective received weighting coefficient. Each client trains its local machine learning model using a machine learning algorithm and its own local dataset.
