Scatterbrained makes it easy to build federated learning systems. In addition to traditional federated learning, Scatterbrained supports decentralized federated learning — a new, cooperative type of federated learning where the learning is done by a group of peers instead of by a centralized server. For more information, see our 2021 paper, Scatterbrained: A flexible and expandable pattern for decentralized machine learning.

You can use your favorite machine learning frameworks alongside Scatterbrained, such as TensorFlow, SciKit-Learn, or PyTorch.

Usage

For examples of how to get started using Scatterbrained, see the Examples directory.
