Privacy preserving machine learning is an emerging field which is in active research. The most prolific successful machine learning models today are built by aggregating all data together at a central location. While centralised techniques are great , there are plenty of scenarios such as user privacy, legal concerns ,business competitiveness or bandwidth limitations ,wherein data cannot be aggregated together. Federated Learningcan help overcome all these challenges with its decentralised strategy for building machine learning models. Paired with privacy preserving techniques such as encryption and differential privacy, Federated Learning presents a promising new way for advancing machine learning solutions.

3. Need for Privacy Aware Machine Learning
Data sources such as EHR , X-Rays, Genomics data are inherently
sensitive and private, and there are ethical as well as legal limitations
for aggregating sensitive data
Healthcare datasets , especially for rare diseases needs collaboration
of health providers across the world
Privacy aware machine learning technique enables building models
without needing data to move from its source location. One such
technique is called Federated Learning.
6. Privacy Concerns
Federated learning is a variant of
decentralized machine learning
Even though data does not leave the
source location, the model parameters
may leak info about the data
Federated learning needs to be
implemented using secure techniques
such as :
Differential Privacy / Secure
Aggregation
Secure Multi Party Computation /
Encryption
