Article Synopsis
  • Machine learning can work well, but it often struggles to make accurate predictions on new data, which is called out-of-sample generalizability.
  • To solve this problem, researchers are using a method called Federated ML that allows computers to share information about how well they're learning without actually sharing the data itself.
