Figure 2: Federated architecture and training summary.
The FL architecture used in the study also illustrates 1 round of FL training for the case of clients. The aggregation server aggregates trained local learner parameters from clients and computing a global model. Client Sites contain their own siloed dataset, each with different samples. The trained client parameters are represented by the blue, orange, and green weights; the black weights represent the aggregated global model. Client model aggregation implemented by the federated learning strategy is denoted by f. Once global weights are computed, a copy is sent to each client; the global model is used to initialize the local learner model weights in subsequent FL training rounds.
