US Patent 11494700 Semantic learning in a federated learning system

A method, a computer system, and a computer program product are provided for federated learning enhanced with semantic learning. An aggregator may receive cluster information from distributed computing devices. The cluster information may relate to identified clusters in sample data of the distributed computing devices. The aggregator may integrate the cluster information to define classes. The integrating may include identifying any redundant clusters amongst the identified clusters. A number of the classes may correspond to a total number of the clusters from the distributed computing devices reduced by any redundant clusters. A deep learning model may be sent from the aggregator to the distributed computing devices. The deep learning model may include an output layer having nodes that may correspond to the defined classes. The aggregator may receive results of federated learning performed by the distributed computing devices. The federated learning may train the deep learning model.
