Call for Papers

Federated Learning (FL), a learning paradigm that enables collaborative training of machine learning models in which data reside and remain in distributed data silos during the training process. FL is a necessary framework to ensure AI thrive in the privacy-focused regulatory environment. As FL allows self-interested data owners to collaboratively train machine learning models, end-users can become co-creators of AI solutions. To enable open collaboration among FL co-creators and enhance the adoption of the federated learning paradigm, we envision that communities of data owners must self-organize during FL model training based on diverse notions of trustworthy federated learning, which include, but not limited to, security and robustness, privacy-preservation, interpretability, fairness, verifiability, transparency, auditability, incremental aggregation of shared learned models, and creating healthy market mechanisms to enable open dynamic collaboration among data owners under the FL paradigm. This workshop aims to bring together academic researchers and industry practitioners to address open issues in this interdisciplinary research area. For industry participants, we intend to create a forum to communicate problems are practically relevant. For academic participants, we hope to make it easier to become productive in this area. The workshop will focus on the theme of building trustworthiness into federated learning to enable open dynamic collaboration among data owners under the FL paradigm, and make FL solutions readily applicable to solve real-world problems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Techniques:
  • Adversarial learning, data poisoning, adversarial examples,
    adversarial robustness, black box attacks
  • Architecture and privacy-preserving learning protocols
  • Auctions in federated learning
  • Auditable federated learning

  • Privacy-aware knowledge driven federated learning
  • Privacy-preserving techniques (secure multi-party computation, homomorphic
    encryption, secret sharing techniques, differential privacy) for machine learning
  • Robustness in federated learning
  • Security for privacy, privacy leakage verification and self-healing etc.
  • Trade-off between privacy, safety, effectiveness and efficiency
  • Transparent federated learning
  • Verifiable federated learning
Applications:
  • Algorithm auditability
  • Approaches to make GDPR-compliant AI
  • Data value and economics of data federation

FedML, Inc. (https://fedml.ai) aims to provide an end-to-end machine learning operating system for people or organizations to transform their data to intelligence with minimum efforts. FedML stands for “Fundamental Ecosystem Development/Design for Machine Learning” in a broad scope, and “Federated Machine Learning” in a specific scope. At the current stage, FedML is developing and maintaining a machine learning platform that enables zero-code, lightweight, cross-platform, and provably secure federated learning and analytics. It enables machine learning from decentralized data at various users/silos/edge nodes, without the need to centralize any data to the cloud, hence providing maximum privacy and efficiency. It consists of a lightweight and cross-platform Edge AI SDK that is deployable over edge GPUs, smartphones, and IoT devices. Furthermore, it also provides a user-friendly MLOps platform to simplify decentralized machine learning and real-world deployment. FedML supports vertical solutions across a broad range of industries (healthcare, finance, insurance, smart cities, IoT, etc.) and applications (computer vision, natural language processing, data mining, and time-series forecasting).
