Abstract: An artificial intelligence aggregation system (110) includes a computer (500) and a memory system. The computer (500) includes a memory (520) that stores instructions and a processor (510) that executes the instructions. The memory system aggregates (S326) a first set of updates to an initial model in a federated learning process. The computer (500) executes the instructions to: distribute (FIG. 3B), to sources of the first set of updates in a federation, a first aggregated updated model that aggregates updates to the initial model; and distribute (FIG. 3B), to a first new source, either the initial model or the first aggregated updated model.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a federated learning system. A federated model is trained on respective local training datasets of respective multiple edge devices. In an iteration, an edge device obtains a current federated model, determines a model update for the current federated model based on the local training dataset, and sends out the model update. The edge device determines the model update by applying the current federated model to a training input to obtain at least a model output for the training input; if the model output does not match a training output corresponding to the training input, include the training input in a subset of filtered training inputs to be used in the iteration; and determining the model update by training the current federated model on only the subset of filtered training inputs.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to training a model, e.g., a medical model. The training uses multiple model updates received from multiple client systems. At least some of the multiple client train on training sets that indicate values for different features. The model updates are aggregated in an aggregated model, for which feature weights are obtained. The feature weights provide information on the relative importance of the multiple features for the aggregated model's output.

Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to training artificial intelligence and machine learning models on non-iid or heterogeneous data, for adapting previously-trained models to new data sources, and for using these models to make inferences. In various embodiments, data may be obtained from one or more data sources that are available in a given domain. The data may be in a domain-specific form that is specific to the given domain. The data may be processed using one or more trained machine learning models. The one or more trained machine learning models may include: a domain-specific set of weights that is tailored to the given domain, and a global set of weights that is shared across a plurality of domains of a federated learning system. An outcome of the process may be provided at one or more output components.
