Compare federated aggregation with personalized and representation-learning objectives.
Examine the federated-learning setup, FedAvg aggregation, and methods that personalize models or learn federated representations. The course focuses on non-identical client distributions, uneven participation, communication, and the privacy limits of model exchange. Learners design evaluations distinguishing global performance from client utility and avoid equating local data storage with formal privacy. Original study notes are not transcripts.
Describe the client-server training loop and the role of local updates and aggregation. Analyze how client heterogeneity, sampling, and communication affect aggregate and client-level outcomes. Compare global, personalized, and representation-learning approaches using privacy-aware evaluation.
Prior knowledge of supervised machine learning, optimization, and neural-network training is recommended. Familiarity with distributed systems or data privacy helps but is not required; basic statistics and evaluation design are assumed.
