Abstract:

Federated learning (FL) has recently gained much attention as a machine learning setting where multiple clients collaborate in solving a machine learning problem under the coordination of a central server/coordinator. Each client’s raw data is stored locally without being exchanged nor transferred to the central server; instead, the model’s parameters are shared/aggregated and used to achieve the learning objective. Throughout this seminar, we first present the FL concept, the Federated Averaging algorithm, the FL client/server architecture along its challenges/limitations and applications. Second, we demonstrate how we employed FL as a collaborative adversarial strategy to leverage deep learning-assisted attacks against obfuscated (e.g. blurred) face images.
