Privacy-preserving federated learning

Distinguished LERSAIS and Pitt Cyber Seminar

Conducting secure privacy-preserving federated learning (PPFL) experiments that leverage large-scale, high-performance computational resources across distributed sites often demands technical capabilities beyond the reach of many organizations. To lower the barrier to entry for PPFL and empower domain experts in large institutions to utilize federated learning (FL), we developed Advanced Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning as a Service (APPFLx). APPFLx simplifies cross-silo PPFL through an intuitive web interface for managing, deploying, analyzing, and visualizing FL experiments.
