TinyFedTL: Federated Transfer Learning on Tiny Devices

TinyML has rose to popularity in an era where data is everywhere. However, the data that is in most demand is subject to strict privacy and security guarantees. In addition, the deployment of TinyML hardware in the real world has significant memory and communication constraints that traditional ML fails to address. In light of these challenges, we present TinyFedTL, the first implementation of federated transfer learning on a resource-constrained microcontroller.
