Popis: Abstract The growing need for data privacy and security in machine learning has led to exploring novel approaches like federated learning (FL) that allow collaborative training on distributed datasets, offering a decentralized alternative to traditional data collection methods. A prime benefit of FL is its emphasis on privacy, enabling data to stay on local devices by moving models instead of data. Despite its pioneering nature, FL faces issues such as diversity in data types, model complexity, privacy concerns, and the need for efficient resource distribution. This paper illustrates an empirical analysis of these challenges within specially designed scenarios, each aimed at studying a specific problem. In particular, differently from existing literature, we isolate the issues that can arise in an FL framework to observe their nature without the interference of external factors.
