FedDCL通过融合数据协作，实现无需频繁通信的联邦学习。

Recently, federated learning has attracted much attention as a privacy-preserving integrated analysis that enables integrated analysis of data held by multiple institutions without sharing raw data. On the other hand, federated learning requires iterative communication across institutions and has a big challenge for implementation in situations where continuous communication with the outside world is extremely difficult. In this study, we propose a federated data collaboration learning (FedDCL), which solves such communication issues by combining federated learning with recently proposed non-model share-type federated learning named as data collaboration analysis. In the proposed FedDCL framework, each user institution independently constructs dimensionality-reduced intermediate representations and shares them with neighboring institutions on intra-group DC servers. On each intra-group DC server, intermediate representations are transformed to incorporable forms called collaboration representations. Federated learning is then conducted between intra-group DC servers. The proposed FedDCL framework does not require iterative communication by user institutions and can be implemented in situations where continuous communication with the outside world is extremely difficult. The experimental results show that the performance of the proposed FedDCL is comparable to that of existing federated learning.
