Vertical federated learning

[mirsci]

Does NVidia Flare support federated learning for data partitioned vertically?
If yes, could you please provide examples or tutorials for this scenario?

Thank you!

Yes, you can implement vertical FL workflow using the controller API. See existing examples here.
We will provide examples/tutorials in the near future.

Hello,
are there any updates regarding vertical federated learning examples availability in Flare?
Thank you!

Hi, thanks for reaching out. We are working on some split learning examples for the upcoming March release. There is a draft PR at the moment #1168, but it is likely subject to change substantially until the release. So, better if you can wait a few weeks and check back once the PR is merged.

Thank you so much, @holgerroth. Looking forward to see them in few weeks!
It will be very helpful if these examples will cover structured/tabular data sets, as well.
