What is the TensorFlow Federated Tool Assembly?
TensorFlow Federated (TFF) is an open-source framework developed by Google for machine learning and analytics on decentralized data. TFF provides a two-layer architecture for building custom federated algorithms and supports both federated learning and federated analytics. It is designed for research and experimentation, enabling privacy-preserving model development without centralizing data.
What can you use the TensorFlow Federated Tool Assembly for?
- Developing custom federated learning algorithms
- Federated analytics and non-learning computations
- Privacy-preserving model training (e.g., mobile keyboard prediction)
- Research and experimentation in federated optimization
Limitations/Remarks
- Requires familiarity with TensorFlow for optimal use
- Design choices may limit flexibility with non-TensorFlow technologies
Specific Use Cases/Applications
- Mobile device model training (e.g., keyboard prediction)
- Federated analytics on decentralized data
- Research in privacy-preserving machine learning
