This repository contains the course materials for the L361 Federated Learning: Theory and Practice course from CaMLSys Group @ the University of Cambridge. The course is taught by Prof. Nicholas D. Lane, while the practical are run by Alexandru-Andrei Iacob and Lorenzo Sani. The materials cover practicals and project guidelines and specifications. The practicals will be published during the term about one week before the corresponding lab session.
For the practicals, the easiest way to use this repo is to open them directly in Google Colab using the integrated GitHub functionality. If you wish to store your solutions in GitHub rather than Google Drive, make a fork of the repository, connect your GitHub account to Google Colab, and then press "Save to GitHub" to make a new commit to your fork.
As mentioned in the slides, MPHil and Part III students are also expected to submit mid-term projects per the specified guidelines (yes, it is same document as the final projects), with the lab report being due by the Lab 3 deadline. Project topics are randomly assigned. The assignments will be published at the same time as Practical 2 is published. If you have not received a project topic by then, contact the teaching assistants.
The most important part of this course assessment is the final project. The guidelines are described here and here for Part II and Part III/MPhil students, respectively. The project topics will be published later during the term.
