Abstract

A system and method for a federated deep learning platform utilizing homomorphically-compressed and encrypted data. The system comprises multiple client devices, each with a local dataset, and a central server hosting a deep learning core. Client devices convert local data into codewords, which are also homomorphically encrypted. The central server processes these encrypted codewords without decryption, preserving data privacy. The platform supports at least two architectural variants: a conventional Transformer trained on codewords, and a Latent Transformer operating on latent space vectors. Both variants eliminate the need for embedding and positional encoding layers. The system aggregates encrypted model updates from clients, enabling collaborative learning while maintaining data confidentiality. Additional features comprise differential privacy implementation and adaptive federated optimization techniques. This innovative approach allows for efficient, privacy-preserving distributed learning across diverse datasets, addressing key challenges in federated learning such as data heterogeneity, non-IID distributions, and communication efficiency.

Claims (52)

1. A system for federated deep learning using a large codeword model, comprising:

a computing device comprising at least a memory and a processor;

a plurality of programming instructions that, when operating on the processor, cause the computing device to:

receive as input a plurality of encrypted codewords from a plurality of client devices, wherein the encrypted codewords serve as compact encrypted representations derived from input data semantic splitting;

process the encrypted codewords using a deep learning core without decrypting the codewords; and

generate as output an encrypted codeword response to the input using the deep learning core;

wherein the deep learning core was initially trained, using training inputs comprising encrypted codewords, to predict a plurality of probable future encrypted codewords that extend the input sequence.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the deep learning core comprises a transformer-based machine learning architecture.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the transformer-based machine learning architecture comprises:

an embedding layer;

a positional encoding layer;

a multi-head attention mechanism; and

a feed-forward network.
