Extending FAIR Principles with Observability for Trustworthy Federated Learning

Federated learning (FL) keeps data at its source, but locality alone does not make a federation trustworthy.

Key points

  • A local TinyLLM may assist in interpreting observability signals, deriving contextual evidence, and providing natural-language explanations to operators.
  • We instantiate this vision through FAIR-O, an observability extension of FAIR principle.
  • Rather than benchmarking FL accuracy, a three-level trust model has been proposed and a two-participant Python prototype demonstrates evidence generation and trust assessment.
  • We further discuss future integration of FAIR-O Trust Evidence into participant selection, evidence weighting, and federated aggregation.
