Loop Improvement: Efficient Feature Extraction in Federated Learning and Multi-Task Learning without Central Server
Core Concepts
Loop Improvement (LI) method enhances feature extraction in federated learning and multi-task learning without a central server.
Abstract
The content discusses the Loop Improvement (LI) method, which combines end-to-end training with layer-wise training for federated learning and multi-task learning. The LI algorithm is shown to be effective in extracting shared features across diverse contexts, outperforming existing methods. It also demonstrates adaptability to various learning scenarios and offers solutions for global model generation. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the LI algorithm in improving accuracy across different datasets and tasks.
