// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM

Federated Learning

A way to train AI models on many devices without centralizing the raw data, keeping it private.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION

A distributed machine learning paradigm where models are trained collaboratively across multiple decentralized edge devices or servers holding local data samples, without exchanging the raw data itself, thus enhancing data privacy.

BACKGROUND

Adversarial machine learning is the study of the attacks on machine learning algorithms, and of the defenses against such attacks.
