ResiliNet: Failure-Resilient Inference in Distributed Neural Networks
Techniques such as Federated Learning and Split Learning aim to train distributed deep learning models without sharing private data. In Split Learning, when a neural network is partitioned and distributed across physical nodes, failure of physical nodes causes the failure of the neural units that are placed on those nodes, which results in a significant performance drop.
