How to express a fully connected neural network succintly using linear algebra?
I'm currently reading the paper Federated Learning with Matched Averaging (2020), where the authors claim:
A basic fully connected (FC) NN can be formulated as: $\hat{y} = \sigma(xW_1)W_2$ [...]
Expanding the preceding expression
$\hat{y} =…

How would the performance of federated learning compare to the performance of centralized machine learning when the data is i.i.d.?
How would the performance of federated learning (FL) compare to the performance of centralized machine learning (ML), when the data is independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.)?
Moreover, what is the difference in the performance of FL when…

How does Knowledge Distillation help Federated Learning?
As per my understanding, typically in FL, there is a global server that interacts with various client devices. The global server and the client both possess a ML models. The client(s) update their models locally and then send the weights across to…
