Federated Learning (FL) enables machine learning on decentralized data. Instead of uploading user data to a server, models are trained locally on-device, then aggregated. Differential privacy adds mathematical guarantees that individual records can't be reverse-engineered. Practitioners work in healthcare, finance, and consumer tech where privacy is non-negotiable. Learning takes 3-4 months of theory + implementation. Senior engineers earn 25-35% premium because FL systems replace centralized ML pipelines that would require expensive compliance or legal review.

Federated Learning Privacy이란

Federated Learning is a distributed machine learning approach where models are trained on data that never leaves the device. Instead of uploading user data to a central server, the model is sent to the device, trained locally, then model updates are sent back and aggregated. This approach preserves privacy because servers never see raw user data. Differential Privacy adds a mathematical layer: noise is injected into model updates such that an adversary with access to the model cannot infer whether any individual person's data was used for training. Together, FL and DP create systems where privacy is not a trust issue (depend on server security) but a mathematical guarantee (impossible to reverse-engineer).

❓ 자주 묻는 질문

How is federated learning different from normal ML?

Normal ML: collect all data on server, train one model. Federated: keep data on devices, train local models, send updates (not data) to server. Server aggregates. Key difference: server never sees raw data, only encrypted model updates. Privacy-first by design.

Can federated learning match centralized ML accuracy?

Usually within 1-5% accuracy loss. Non-IID (non-independent) data on devices hurts accuracy. Communication rounds add latency. With enough devices and careful aggregation, FL can match or exceed centralized performance.

What's differential privacy and why does FL need it?

Differential privacy: math guarantee that revealing an individual's participation won't change the model output. FL + DP: even if someone hacks the server, they can't reverse-engineer person X's data. Cost: small accuracy loss. DP is the insurance policy for FL systems.

How do you aggregate models from 1000 devices?

FedAvg (Federated Averaging): average the weights of 1000 local models. Works surprisingly well. More advanced: FedProx, FedDyn (handle non-IID data better). Secure aggregation uses cryptography so server never sees individual updates, only the average.

What devices can run federated learning?

Any device with compute: phones, IoT sensors, edge servers, browsers (TensorFlow.js). Constraint is model size and communication. A 50MB model on 2G is impractical. Typical: 1-10MB models on modern phones or WiFi.
