FATE (Federated AI Technology Enabler) is an open-source project initiated by Webank's AI Department to provide a secure computing framework to support the federated AI ecosystem. It implements secure computation protocols based on homomorphic encryption and multi-party computation (MPC). It supports federated learning architectures and secure computation of various machine learning algorithms, including logistic regression, tree-based algorithms, deep learning and transfer learning.

Federated Learning Algorithms In FATE

FATE already supports a number of federated learning algorithms, including vertical federated learning, horizontal federated learning, and federated transfer learning. More details are available in federatedml.

Install

FATE can be installed on Linux or Mac. Now, FATE can support：

Native installation: standalone and cluster deployments;
KubeFATE installation:
- Multipal parties deployment by docker-compose, which for devolopment and test purpose;
- Cluster (multi-node) deployment by Kubernetes

Native installation:

Software environment :jdk1.8+、Python3.6、python virtualenv、mysql5.6+

Standalone

FATE provides Standalone runtime architecture for developers. It can help developers quickly test FATE. Standalone support two types of deployment: Docker version and Manual version. Please refer to Standalone deployment guide: standalone-deploy

Cluster

FATE also provides a distributed runtime architecture for Big Data scenario. Migration from standalone to cluster requires configuration change only. No algorithm change is needed.

To deploy FATE on a cluster, please refer to cluster deployment guide: cluster-deploy.

KubeFATE installation:

Using KubeFATE, FATE can be deployed by either docker-compose or Kubernetes:

For development or testing purposes, docker-compose is recommended. It only requires Docker enviroment. For more detail, please refer to Deployment by Docker Compose.
For a production or a large scale deployment, Kubernetes is recommended as an underlying infrastructure to manage FATE system. For more detail, please refer to Deployment on Kubernetes.

More instructions can be found in KubeFATE.

FATE-Client Installation

FATE-client is an easy tool for interacting with FATE. We strongly recommend you install FATE-client and take its advantage to use FATE conveniently. Please refer to this document for more details on FATE-Client.

Running Tests

A script to run all the unittests has been provided in ./python/federatedml/test folder.

Once FATE is installed, tests can be run using:

sh ./python/federatedml/test/run_test.sh

All the unittests shall pass if FATE is installed properly.

Example Programs

Quick Start

We have provided a tutorial for quick starting modeling task. Please refer here

Obtain Model and Check Out Results

We provided functions such as tracking component output models or logs etc. through a tool called fate-flow. The deployment and usage of fate-flow can be found here
