Causal Knowledge-Empowered Adaptive Federated Learning. Federated learning tools are a promising framework for collaborative machine learning (ML) that also maintain data privacy; however, their ability to model heterogeneous data remains a key challenge. This project aims to develop a new learning scheme for coordinated training of ML models that successfully bridges variable data distributions.

Federated learning tools are a promising framework for collaborative machine learning (ML) that also maintain data privacy; however, their ability to model heterogeneous data remains a key challenge. This project aims to develop a new learning scheme for coordinated training of ML models that successfully bridges variable data distributions. The framework proposed will be the first globally that can use causal knowledge to 1) handle data heterogeneity across devices and 2) address the real-world challenges when only a subset of devices have labelled data. Expected outcomes and benefits include the theoretical underpinnings and algorithms of causality-based collaborative training of ML models while better preserving the users’ data privacy.Read moreRead less
