Method and System for edge intelligence using federated learning with blockchain, covariance matrix transfer, and artificial intelligence (FLwBC-AI)

Original (Chinese)

This disclosure describes methods for adaptive machine learning in distributed edge computing. An edge node collects local data, selects a suitable large language model (LLM) or small learning model (SLM), trains it, and shares updates with a federated server or peer nodes. Another method matches AI functions with appropriate models, uses datasets with confidence values, and applies a Kalman Filter to assign weights and update covariance matrix confidence. In collaborative training, edge nodes store trained models with per-layer covariance values, transmit them to a control node, and update models based on aggregated inputs. Blockchain may be used for secure model storage and distribution, with smart contracts managing access and updates. These approaches support efficient, privacy-preserving learning by adapting models using statistical confidence and decentralized coordination.
