Los Angeles, CA, Feb. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FedML, a Collaborative/Federated Machine Learning and Edge AI Platform that empowers communities to build and connect AI applications anywhere at any scale, announced today that it will partner with Theta Network to enable collaborative machine learning for Generative AI and content recommendation and advertisement, powered by the Theta edge network.
FedML enables open and collaborative AI by the community for the community
Federated Learning is a solution to the data-sharing concern that the public and enterprises have (due to privacy, security, regulations, etc.) regarding the machine learning-powered technologies that modern society increasingly relies on. These technologies depend on huge, centralized data sets of sometimes sensitive/private information to make decisions on, say, private communication of the users for developing large language models for chatGPT-like chatbots or private browsing history and behaviors of the users for developing AI models for content recommendation and advertisement. While the community would enjoy the benefits of AI in these applications, they still want to keep their private information confidential.
Fortunately, FedML allows AI technologies to use these personal datasets without centralizing or transferring the data. It enables machine learning from decentralized data at various nodes without concentrating any data in the cloud (i.e., “learning without sharing”), which provides maximum user privacy, reduces development costs, and empowers data owners to monetize their data and compute resources.
“FedML’s mission is to connect and empower silos in the AI world (e.g., data owners and developers) to collaborate with each other” said Salman Avestimehr, CEO and Co-Founder of FedML. “At a high level, this is aligned with the overarching goal of web3 and blockchain systems, which is to connect and empower decentralized agents. This exciting partnership combines these two powerful visions to enable collaborative AI in web3. Ad recommendation and generative AI are just two immediate applications, where there is an immediate need for people to contribute their private data into the training of the machine learning models that they all benefit from.”
FedML () provides an open-source community and an enterprise platform for decentralized and collaborative AI anywhere (at the edge or over the cloud) at any scale. More specifically, FedML provides an MLOps ecosystem that enables training, deployment, monitoring, and continual improvement of machine learning models anywhere (edge/cloud), while empowering collaboration on combined data, models, and computing resources in a privacy-preserving manner.
