2. Personalization

Personalized federated learning refers to train a model for each client, based on the client’s own dataset and the datasets of other clients. There are two major motivations for personalized federated learning：

• Due to statistical heterogeneity across clients, a single global model would not be a good choice for all clients. Sometimes, the local models trained solely on their private data perform better than the global shared model.
• Different clients need models specifically customized to their own environment. As an example of model heterogeneity, consider the sentence: “I live in .....”. The next-word prediction task applied on this sentence needs to predict a different answer customized for each user. Different clients may assign different labels to the same data.

3. Recommender system

Recommender system (RecSys) is widely used to solve information overload. In general, the more data RecSys use, the better the recommendation performance we can obtain.

Traditionally, RecSys requires the data that are distributed across multiple devices to be uploaded to the central database for model training. However, due to privacy and security concerns, such directly sharing user data strategies are no longer appropriate.

The incorporation of federated learning and RecSys is a promising approach, which can alleviate the risk of privacy leakage.
