Abstract

In an era where data privacy is paramount, traditional centralized machine learning (ML) models pose significant risks to user confidentiality. This paper explores the potential of federated learning as a privacy-preserving solution to this challenge. Federated learning allows ML models to be trained across multiple distributed devices or servers, without sharing raw data. By maintaining the data locally and aggregating model updates, this approach mitigates the risks associated with data breaches and unauthorized access. We discuss the theoretical foundations of federated learning, the various techniques for secure aggregation and communication, and the practical challenges in implementing such systems. Furthermore, we present a comprehensive review of existing federated learning models, analyzing their strengths and limitations. The paper concludes with a forward-looking perspective on the future directions of privacy-preserving ML, highlighting the potential for wider adoption and the need for robust standards to ensure the effectiveness and security of these systems.
