    Abstract: Broadly speaking, embodiments of the present techniques provide a method for training a machine learning, ML, model to update global and local versions of a model. We propose a novel hierarchical Bayesian approach to Federated Learning (FL), where our models reasonably describe the generative process of clients' local data via hierarchical Bayesian modeling: constituting random variables of local models for clients that are governed by a higher-level global variate. Interestingly, the variational inference in our Bayesian model leads to an optimisation problem whose block-coordinate descent solution becomes a distributed algorithm that is separable over clients and allows them not to reveal their own private data at all, thus fully compatible with FL.

    Abstract: A storage device includes a non-volatile memory device that includes memory blocks each including one or more memory cells, a combo integrated circuit (IC) that includes a temperature sensor and a memory, and a controller that is connected with the combo IC through first channels and controls the non-volatile memory device to write or read data in or from selected memory cells. When the controller determines that a first event occurs based on temperature data read from the combo IC, the controller records first event data in the memory of the combo IC. In a first operation mode, the combo IC outputs the first event data to the controller through the first channels. In a second operation mode, under control of an external host, the combo IC outputs the first event data to the external host through second channels different from the first channels.
