Popis: Federated learning is a new machine learning paradigm. The goal is to build a machine learning model from the data sets distributed on multiple devices–so-called an isolated data island–while keeping their data secure and private. Most existing federated learning benchmarks work manually splits commonly-used public datasets into partitions to simulate real-world isolated data island scenarios. Still, this simulation fails to capture real-world isolated data island’s intrinsic characteristics. This paper presents a federated learning (FL) benchmark suite named FLBench. FLBench contains three domains: medical, financial, and AIoT. By configuring various domains, FLBench is qualified to evaluate federated learning systems and algorithms’ essential aspects, like communication, scenario transformation, privacy-preserving, data distribution heterogeneity, and cooperation strategy. Hence, it becomes a promising platform for developing novel federated learning algorithms. Currently, FLBench is open-sourced and in fast-evolution. We package it as an automated deployment tool. The benchmark suite is available from https://www.benchcouncil.org/flbench.html.
