Optimizing Real-Time Federated Learning Pipelines for Privacy-Preserving Edge Intelligence Systems
Introduction Edge intelligence—bringing AI inference and training capabilities to devices at the network edge—has moved from a research curiosity to a production necessity. From autonomous drones and industrial IoT sensors to smart cameras and wearables, the demand for real‑time, privacy‑preserving machine learning is exploding. Federated Learning (FL) offers a compelling answer: models are trained collaboratively across many devices without ever moving raw data to a central server. However, the naïve FL loop (select clients → download model → train locally → upload updates) was designed for offline scenarios where latency, bandwidth, and privacy budgets are relaxed. In a real‑time edge environment, we must simultaneously address: ...
