- Title: A Grassroots Architecture to Supplant Global Digital Platforms by a Global Digital Democracy
- Authors: Ehud Shapiro,
- Abstract summary: Grassroots platforms may offer local communities an alternative to global digital platforms while operating solely on the smartphones of their members.
Such communities may form digital economies without initial capital or external credit, exercise sovereign democratic governance, and federate.

- Abstract: We present an architectural alternative to global digital platforms termed grassroots, designed to serve the social, economic, civic, and political needs of local digital communities, as well as their federation. Grassroots platforms may offer local communities an alternative to global digital platforms while operating solely on the smartphones of their members, forsaking any global resources other than the network itself. Such communities may form digital economies without initial capital or external credit, exercise sovereign democratic governance, and federate, ultimately resulting in the grassroots formation of a global digital democracy.

Re-Identification [69.29602103582782]
Deep learning has been successful for many computer vision tasks due to the availability of shared and centralised large-scale training data.
However, increasing awareness of privacy concerns poses new challenges to deep learning, especially for person re-identification (Re-ID)
We propose a novel paradigm called Federated Person Re-Identification (FedReID) to construct a generalisable global model (a central server) by simultaneously learning with multiple privacy-preserved local models (local clients)
This client-server collaborative learning process is iteratively performed under privacy control, enabling FedReID to realise decentralised learning without sharing distributed data nor collecting any
