• Abstract: Collaborations among various entities, such as companies, research labs, AI agents, and edge devices, have become increasingly crucial for achieving machine learning tasks that cannot be accomplished by a single entity alone. This is likely due to factors such as security constraints, privacy concerns, and limitations in computation resources. As a result, collaborative learning (CL) research has been gaining momentum. However, a significant challenge in practical applications of CL is how to effectively incentivize multiple entities to collaborate before any collaboration occurs. In this study, we propose ICL, a general framework for incentivized collaborative learning, and provide insights into the critical issue of when and why incentives can improve collaboration performance. Furthermore, we show the broad applicability of ICL to specific cases in federated learning, assisted learning, and multi-armed bandit with both theory and experimental results.

  We investigate collaborative active learning, a paradigm in which multiple collaborators explore a new domain by leveraging their combined machine learning capabilities without disclosing their existing data and models. This collaboration offers several advantages: (a) it addresses privacy and security concerns by eliminating the need for direct model and data disclosure; (b) it enables the use of different data sources and insights without direct data exchange; and (c) it promotes cost-effectiveness and resource efficiency through shared labeling costs.
