Federated Learning Utility framework for Experimentation and research.

fluke: federated learning utility framework for experimentation and research

fluke is a Python package that provides a framework for federated learning research. It is designed to be modular and extensible, allowing researchers to easily implement and test new federated learning algorithms. fluke provides a set of pre-implemented state-of-the-art federated learning algorithms that can be used as a starting point for research or as a benchmark for comparison.

Installation

fluke is a Python package that can be installed via pip. To install it, you can run the following command:

pip install fluke-fl

Run a federated algorithm

To run an algorithm in fluke you need to create two configuration files:

• EXP_CONFIG: the experiment configuration file (independent from the algorithm);
• ALG_CONFIG: the algorithm configuration file;

Then, you can run the following command:

fluke --config=EXP_CONFIG federation ALG_CONFIG

You can find some examples of these files in the configs folder of the repository.

Example

Let say you want to run the classic FedAvg algorithm on the MNIST dataset. Then, using the configuration files exp.yaml and fedavg.yaml, you can run the following command:

fluke --config=configs/exp.yaml federation ./configs/fedavg.yaml
