• Abstract: Social learning highlights that learning agents improve not in isolation, but through interaction and structured knowledge exchange with others. When introduced into machine learning, this principle gives rise to social machine learning (SML), where multiple agents collaboratively learn by sharing abstracted knowledge. Federated learning (FL) provides a natural collaboration substrate for this paradigm, yet existing heterogeneous FL approaches often rely on sharing model parameters or intermediate representations, which may expose sensitive information and incur additional overhead. In this work, we propose SoHip (Social Hippocampus Memory Learning), a memory-centric social machine learning framework that enables collaboration among heterogeneous agents via memory sharing rather than model sharing. SoHip abstracts each agent's individual short-term memory from local representations, consolidates it into individual long-term memory through a hippocampus-inspired mechanism, and fuses it with collectively aggregated long-term memory to enhance local prediction. Throughout the process, raw data and local models remain on-device, while only lightweight memory are exchanged. We provide theoretical analysis on convergence and privacy preservation properties. Experiments on two benchmark datasets with seven baselines demonstrate that SoHip consistently outperforms existing methods, achieving up to 8.78% accuracy improvements.

  The aim of this thesis is to understand the effectiveness of Unlearning in both associative memory models and generative models.

  Federated learning (FL) and Split Learning (SL) are two frameworks that enable collaborative learning while keeping the data private (on device) In FL, each data holder trains a model locally and releases it to a central server for aggregation. In SL, the clients must release individual cut-layer activations (smashed data) to the server and wait for its response (during both inference and back propagation). In this work, we present a novel approach for privacy-preserving machine learning, where the clients collaborate via online knowledge distillation using a contrastive loss.
