Design of an improved model using federated learning and LSTM autoencoders for secure and transparent blockchain network transactions by R. Vijay Anand, G. Magesh, I. Alagiri, Madala Guru Brahmam, Balamurugan Balusamy, Chithirai Pon Selvan, Haya Mesfer Alshahrani, Masresha Getahun, Ben Othman Soufiene

“…We begin with a design framework based on Federated Learning for Blockchain Integration where distributed datasets across blockchain nodes contribute to a global machine learning model but do not share raw data samples. Different nodes learn their own models. After that, these local models are aggregated towards a common, global model using secure aggregation methods, which makes sure that there is nozza of data privacy and hence, in the process making sure that more accurate models can be obtained due to diversified data sets. …”
