A method, a computer program product, and a computer system determine when to perform a federated learning process. The method includes identifying currently available contributors among contributors of a federated learning task for which the federated learning process is to be performed. The method includes determining a usefulness metric of the currently available contributors for respective datasets from each of the currently available contributors used in performing the federated learning process. The method includes, as a result of the usefulness metric of the currently available contributors being at least a usefulness threshold, generating a recommendation to perform the federated learning process with the datasets of the currently available contributors. The method includes transmitting the recommendation to a processing component configured to perform the federated learning process.
