    Abstract: Decentralized machine learning to build models is performed at nodes where local training datasets are generated. A blockchain platform may be used to coordinate decentralized machine learning over a series of iterations. For each iteration, a distributed ledger may be used to coordinate the nodes. Rules in the form of smart contracts may enforce node participation in an iteration of model building and parameter sharing, as well as provide logic for electing a node that serves as a master node for the iteration. The master node obtains model parameters from the nodes and generates final parameters based on the obtained parameters. The master node may write its state to the distributed ledger indicating that the final parameters are available. Each node, via its copy of the distributed ledger, may discover the master node's state and obtain and apply the final parameters to its local model, thereby learning from other nodes.

    Abstract: Anomalies and drift detection in decentralized learning environments. The method includes deploying at a first node, (1) a local unsupervised autoencoder, trained at the first node, along with a local training data reference baseline for the first node, and (2) a global unsupervised autoencoder trained across a plurality of nodes, along with a corresponding global training data reference baseline. Production data at the first node is processed with local and global ML models deployed by a user. At least one of local and global anomaly data regarding anomalous production data or local and global drift data regarding drifting production data is derived based on the local and global training data reference baselines, respectively. At least one of the local anomaly data is compared with the global anomaly data or the local drift data with the global drift data for assessing impact of anomalies/drift on the ML models.

    Abstract: Decentralized machine learning to build models is performed at nodes where local training datasets are generated. A blockchain platform may be used to coordinate decentralized machine learning (ML) over a series of iterations. For each iteration, a distributed ledger may be used to coordinate the nodes communicating via a decentralized network. A master node on the decentralized network, can include fault tolerance features. Fault tolerance involves determining whether a number of computing nodes in a population for participating in an iteration of training is above a threshold. The master node ensures that the minimum number of computing nodes for a population, indicated by the threshold, is met before continuing with an iteration. Thus, the master node can prevent decentralized ML from continuing with an insufficient population of participating node that may impact the precision of the model and/or the overall learning ability of the decentralized ML system.
