InFL-UX: A Toolkit for Web-Based Interactive Federated Learning
This provides a tool for researchers to explore user interactions in federated learning, but it is incremental as it focuses on usability rather than algorithmic innovation.
The paper tackles the problem of making federated learning more accessible and interactive by introducing InFL-UX, a browser-based toolkit that allows users to upload datasets and collaboratively train classification models, bridging federated learning with interactive machine learning.
This paper presents InFL-UX, an interactive, proof-of-concept browser-based Federated Learning (FL) toolkit designed to integrate user contributions seamlessly into the machine learning (ML) workflow. InFL-UX enables users across multiple devices to upload datasets, define classes, and collaboratively train classification models directly in the browser using modern web technologies. Unlike traditional FL toolkits, which often focus on backend simulations, InFL-UX provides a simple user interface for researchers to explore how users interact with and contribute to FL systems in real-world, interactive settings. By prioritising usability and decentralised model training, InFL-UX bridges the gap between FL and Interactive Machine Learning (IML), empowering non-technical users to actively participate in ML classification tasks.
