Federated Learning using Hugging Face and Flower

This Hugging Face blog post describes how to combine the Hugging Face ecosystem with the Flower federated learning framework to train models across distributed, privacy-preserving data silos. It provides a practical walkthrough of integrating Transformers and Datasets libraries with Flower's federated training loop. The post targets practitioners looking to apply federated learning to NLP and other ML tasks without centralizing sensitive data.
