  • Publication number: 20240012680
    Abstract: Techniques for facilitating inter-cloud federated learning (FL) are provided. In one set of embodiments, these techniques comprise an FL lifecycle manager that enables users to centrally manage the lifecycles of FL components across different cloud platforms. The lifecycle management operations enabled by the FL lifecycle manager can include deploying/installing FL components on the cloud platforms, updating the components, and uninstalling the components. In a further set of embodiments, these techniques comprise an FL job manager that enables users to centrally manage the execution of FL training runs (i.e., FL jobs) on FL components that have been deployed via the FL lifecycle manager. For example, the FL job manager can enable users to define the parameters and configuration of an FL job, initiate the job, monitor the job's status, take actions on the running job, and collect the job's results.

  • Publication number: 20230229640
    Abstract: A collaborative data schema management system for federated learning (i.e., federated data manager (FDM)) is provided. Among other things, FDM enables the members of a federated learning alliance to (1) propose data schemas for use by the alliance, (2) identify and bind local datasets to proposed schemas, (3) create, based on the proposed schemas, training datasets for addressing various ML tasks, and (4) control, for each training dataset, which of the local datasets bound to that training dataset (and thus, which alliance members) will actually participate in the training of a particular ML model. FDM enables these features while ensuring that the contents of the members' local datasets remain hidden from each other, thereby preserving the privacy of that data.

  • Publication number: 20220321936
    Abstract: An information push method, apparatus, electronic device and storage medium provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. A type identification corresponding to a media work is displayed when a first page of playing the media work is displayed, and the page is switched when a user triggers the type identification on the first page to display the second page corresponding to the type identification to the user. Since information of other media works corresponding to the type identification of the media work can be displayed on the second page, the user's demand for obtaining push information can be effectively met; at the same time, since the user can directly obtain the second page in a manner of direct triggering the type identification, and the obtaining operation process is very concise, then the solution provided by the present disclosure can optimize an user experience while improving information push efficiency.
