Federated Learning: Foundations and Applications

Federated Learning: Foundations and Applications provides a comprehensive guide to the foundations, architectures, systems, security, privacy, and applications of federated learning. Federated learning has become an increasingly important machine learning technique because it introduces local data analysis within clients and requires exchanging only model parameters between clients and servers. This book covers the fundamental concepts of federated learning, including machine learning, deep learning, centralized learning, and distributed learning processes. The book then progresses to cover the architectures, algorithms, and system models of federated learning, as well as security, privacy, and energy-efficiency techniques. Finally, the book presents various applications of federated learning through real-world case studies illustrating both centralized and decentralized federated learning.
