Abstract
Weightless Neural Networks (WNN) are good candidates for Federated Learning scenarios due to their robustness and computational lightness. In this work, we show that it is possible to aggregate the knowledge of multiple WNNs using more compact data structures, such as Bloom Filters, to reduce the amount of data transferred between devices. Finally, we explore variations of Bloom Filters and found that a particular data-structure, the Count-Min Sketch (CMS), is a good candidate for aggregation. Costing at most 3% of accuracy, CMS can be up to 3x smaller when compared to previous approaches, specially for large datasets.
