- Abstract: Federated learning (FL) is increasingly recognized for its efficacy in
training models using locally distributed data. However, the proper valuation
of shared data in this collaborative process remains insufficiently addressed.
In this work, we frame FL as a marketplace of models, where clients act as both
buyers and sellers, engaging in model trading. This FL market allows clients to
gain monetary reward by selling their own models and improve local model
performance through the purchase of others' models. We propose an auction-based
solution to ensure proper pricing based on performance gain. Incentive
mechanisms are designed to encourage clients to truthfully reveal their model
valuations. Furthermore, we introduce a reinforcement learning (RL) framework
for marketing operations, aiming to achieve maximum trading volumes under the
dynamic and evolving market status. Experimental results on four datasets
demonstrate that the proposed FL market can achieve high trading revenue and
fair downstream task accuracy.

Federated Learning (FL) relies on the effectiveness of utilizing knowledge from distributed datasets.
Traditional FL methods adopt an aggregate-then-adapt framework, where clients update local models based on a global model aggregated by the server from the previous training round.
We introduce FedAF, a novel aggregation-free FL algorithm.

Federated learning is beneficial for enabling the training of models across distributed clients.
Existing work has overlooked the coexistence of model training and inference under clients' limited resources.
This paper focuses on the joint optimization of model training and inference to maximize inference performance at clients.

An emerging paradigm in Machine Learning (ML) is a federated approach where the learning model is delivered to a group of heterogeneous agents partially, allowing agents to train the model locally with their own data.
The problem of valuation of models, as well as the questions of incentives for collaborative training and trading of data/models, have received limited treatment in the literature.
In this paper, a new ecosystem of ML model trading over a trusted ML-based network is proposed. The buyer can acquire the model of interest from the ML market, and interested sellers spend local computations on their data to enhance that model's quality

Federated learning (FL) serves as a data privacy-preserved machine learning paradigm, and realizes the collaborative model trained by distributed clients.
To accomplish an FL task, the task publisher needs to pay financial incentives to the FL server and FL server offloads the task to the contributing FL clients.
It is challenging to design proper incentives for the FL clients due to the fact that the task is privately trained by the clients.

Existing model marketplaces assume that the broker can access data owners' private training data, which may not be realistic in practice.
We propose FL-Market, a locally private model marketplace that protects privacy not only against model buyers but also against the untrusted broker.
