Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to a method and system for generative Al based unified virtual assistant. Conventional virtual assistant for enterprise systems needs to be configured for a specific industry or stakeholder and does not provide support for all stakeholders in the enterprise. Also, conventional rule-based virtual assistant or machine learning based virtual assistant need a large database for proper functioning. The disclosed method and system provide a unified virtual assistant for all processes in the enterprise. The unified virtual assistant provides support for all stakeholders in the enterprise and can answer all kinds of queries related to any process of the enterprise according to a role of a user logged into the system. The unified virtual assistant interprets user's query and generates effective prompts depending on the user's query which can be specific to customer, employee, executive or support desk users of the enterprise.

Abstract: The apparatus of an edge computing node, a system, a method and a machine-readable medium. The apparatus includes a processor to perform rounds of federated machine learning training including: processing client reports from a plurality of clients of the edge computing network; selecting a candidate set of clients from the plurality of clients for an epoch of the federated machine learning training; causing a global model to be sent to the candidate set of clients; and performing the federated machine learning training on the candidate set of clients. The processor may perform rounds of federated machine learning training including: obtaining coded training data from each of the selected clients; and performing machine learning training on the coded training data.
