Abstract: An apparatus for training a parametric policy in dependence on a proposal distribution, the apparatus comprising one or more processors configured to repeatedly perform the steps of: forming, in dependence on the proposal distribution, a proposal; inputting the proposal to the policy so as to form an output state from the policy responsive to the proposal; estimating a loss between the output state and a preferred state responsive to the proposal; forming, by means of an adaptation algorithm and in dependence on the loss, a policy adaption; applying the policy adaption to the policy to form an adapted policy; forming, by means of the adapted policy, an estimate of variance in the policy adaptation and adapting the proposal distribution in dependence on the estimate of variance so as to reduce the variance of policy adaptations formed on subsequent iterations of the steps.

Abstract: A method includes: A second node sends a prior distribution of a parameter in a federated model to at least one first node. After receiving the prior distribution of the parameter in the federated model, the at least one first node performs training based on the prior distribution of the parameter in the federated model and local training data of the first node, to obtain a posterior distribution of a parameter in a local model of the first node. After the local training ends, the at least one first node feeds back the posterior distribution of the parameter in the local model to the second node, so that the second node updates the prior distribution of the parameter in the federated model based on the posterior distribution of the parameter in the local model of the at least one first node.
