Abstract:
Implementations disclosed herein are directed to federated learning of machine learning (“ML”) model(s) based on gradient(s) generated at corresponding client devices and a remote system. Processor(s) of the corresponding client devices can process client data generated locally at the corresponding client devices using corresponding on-device ML model(s) to generate corresponding predicted outputs, generate corresponding client gradients based on the corresponding predicted outputs, and transmit the corresponding client gradients to the remote system. Processor(s) of the remote system can process remote data obtained from remote database(s) using global ML model(s) to generate additional corresponding predicted outputs, generate corresponding remote gradients based on the additional corresponding predicted outputs. Further, the remote system can utilize the corresponding client gradients and the corresponding remote gradients to update the global ML model(s) or weights thereof. The updated global ML model(s) and/or the updated weights thereof can be transmitted back to the corresponding client devices.
