As a follow on to the past UK-US PETs Prize Challenges collaboration, we’re excited to share this joint blog series with our UK colleagues focused on federated learning, an approach that addresses the fundamental privacy challenge of traditional machine learning by avoiding the centralized collection of training data. We encourage readers to ask questions and contribute to our work. Please email us at PrivacyEng [at] nist.gov (PrivacyEng[at]nist[dot]gov) or pets [at] dsit.gov.uk (pets[at]dsit[dot]gov[dot]uk)
