Basic Introduction

• We consider a real-world scenario that a newly-established pilot project needs to make inferences for newly-collected data, but it does not have any labeled data for training.
• We resort to federated learning (FL) and abstract this scene as transductive federated learning (TFL).
• To facilitate TFL, we propose several techniques including stabilized teachers, rectified distillation, and clustered label refinery.
• The proposed Model refinery framework for Transductive Federated learning (MrTF) shows superiorities towards other FL methods on several benchmarks.
• Related Federated Learning codes could be found in our FL repository FedRepo
