Project SONAR - Self-Organizing Network of Aggregated Representations

Documentation: https://aidecentralized.github.io/sonar/

A collaborative learning project where users self-organize to improve their ML models by sharing representations of their data or model.

⚠️Warning: This project is currently under a major revamp and may contain bugs.

Main

The application currently uses MPI and GRPC (experimental) to enable communication between different nodes in the network. The goal of the framework to organize everything in a modular manner. That way a researcher or engineer can easily swap out different components of the framework to test their hypothesis or a new algorithm

Framework Rewrite Objective

• O1: Benchmark existing configurations and algorithms.
• O2: Separate the communication layer (topology) from collaborative learning algorithms.
• O3: Implement a few more collaborative learning algorithms.
• O4: Improve telemetry and logging for visualization of the network. See #11
• O5: Fault tolerance and rogue clients simulation.
• O6: Eliminate the need to add a BaseServer module, keep it backward compatible by instantiating the server as yet another node.
• O7: Build testing suite. See #21
• O8: Set up milestones for transition to full API like interface and then launch on pip
