  • Patent number: 12748982
    Abstract: The embodiments are directed towards providing personalized federated learning (PFL) models via sharable federated basis models. A model architecture and learning algorithm for PFL models is disclosed. The embodiments learn a set of basis models, which can be combined layer by layer to form a personalized model for each client using specifically learned combination coefficients. The set of basis models are shared with each client of a set of the clients. Thus, the set of basis models is common to each client of the set of clients. However, each client may generate a unique PFL based on their specifically learned combination coefficients. The unique combination of coefficients for each client may be encoded in a separate personalized vector for each of the clients.
