FATE

FATE (Federated AI Technology Enabler) is the world's first industrial grade federated learning open source framework to enable enterprises and institutions to collaborate on data while protecting data security and privacy. It implements secure computation protocols based on homomorphic encryption and multi-party computation (MPC). Supporting various federated learning scenarios, FATE now provides a host of federated learning algorithms, including logistic regression, tree-based algorithms, deep learning and transfer learning.

FATE is an open source project hosted by Linux Foundation. The Technical Charter sets forth the responsibilities and procedures for technical contribution to, and oversight of, the FATE (“Federated AI Technology Enabler”) Project.

Getting Started

FATE can be deployed on a single node or on multiple nodes. Choose the deployment approach which matches your environment. Release version can be downloaded here.

Version >= 2.0

Standalone deployment

• Deploying FATE on a single node via PyPI, pre-built docker images or installers. It is for simple testing purposes. Refer to this guide.

Cluster deployment

Deploying FATE to multiple nodes to achieve scalability, reliability and manageability.

• Cluster deployment by CLI: Using CLI to deploy a FATE cluster.
• Docker-Compose deployment: Using docker-compose to deploy FATE.
