Choose Awesome-Federated-Learning if…
- Tags unique to Awesome-Federated-Learning: adversarial-attack-and-defense, communication-efficiency, computation-efficiency, computer-vision.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability.
- When developing federated learning solutions that require comprehensive features like hierarchical models and decentralized approaches.
When NOT to use Awesome-Federated-Learning
- If your project does not benefit from extensive research integration, as this library might introduce unnecessary complexity.
- When the specific licensing details of FedML are uncertain or unaligned with the project's requirements.
Choose FATE if…
- Tags unique to FATE: algorithm, fate, machine-learning, privacy-preserving.
- When needing secure multi-party computation to train machine-learning models across distributed data without sharing sensitive information
- More GitHub stars (6.1k vs 2.0k) - visibility, not fit.
When NOT to use FATE
- In scenarios where the deployment complexity of cross-node communications is undesirable or exceeds resource capabilities
- If your project does not require federated learning's collaborative model training across disjoint data sets
