• Abstract: Vertical Federated Learning (VFL) refers to the collaborative training of a model on a dataset where the features of the dataset are split among multiple data owners, while label information is owned by a single data owner. In this paper, we propose a novel method, Multi Vertical Federated Learning (Multi-VFL), to train VFL models when there are multiple data and label owners. Our approach is the first to consider the setting where $D$-data owners (across which features are distributed) and $K$-label owners (across which labels are distributed) exist. This proposed configuration allows different entities to train and learn optimal models without having to share their data. Our framework makes use of split learning and adaptive federated optimizers to solve this problem. For empirical evaluation, we run experiments on the MNIST and FashionMNIST datasets. Our results show that using adaptive optimizers for model aggregation fastens convergence and improves accuracy.

  Federated Learning (FL) is a machine learning setting where many devices collaboratively train a machine learning model. In most of the current training schemes the central model is refined by averaging the parameters of the server model and the updated parameters from the client side. We propose ensemble distillation for model fusion, i.e. training the central classifier through unlabeled data on the outputs of the models from the clients.
