💥 What’s New in AI: FLUTE is Microsoft’s New Framework for Federated Learning

Federated learning is one of the most popular architectures to enable privacy in deep learning solutions. Despite its popularity, federated learning architectures remain super difficult to implement. Implementing federated learning solutions can be nothing short of a nightmare: from the computation cost of setting up test environments to the enforcement of privacy guarantees or the complexity of model updates. Not surprisingly, there are not many federated learning libraries available in mainstream deep learning frameworks. To address some of these challenges,
