Abstract
A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for resource-limited federated learning using dynamic masking. A server in federated machine learning evaluates resources of respective agents in the federated machine learning to determine capacities of model training by the respective agents. The server masks weights of a full machine learning model to construct a masked machine learning model, based on the capacities. The server distributes the masked machine learning model to the respective agents which train the masked machine learning model. The server receives from the respective agents updated weights obtained through training the masked machine learning model. The server updates the full machine learning model, based on the updated weights.
