From 13 to 19 April, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-Shenzhen), hosted the Trusted Federated Learning (TFL) Spring Camp. This camp focused on the cutting-edge research area of TFL and invited numerous renowned experts from CUHK-Shenzhen, Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School, Sun Yat-sen University, Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), and WeBank to serve as mentors, providing research guidance to the participants. Under the guidance of these domain experts, university students were grouped to work on various research topics, quickly mastering the basic principles of TFL. Research themes were selected based on their backgrounds and interests. In the latter half of the camp, participants, with the assistance of their mentors, completed their research and practical work, culminating in the formation of research papers. These research outcomes will be evaluated in August 2024, with awards given for the best research results.
 

The TFL Spring Camp was jointly organized by CUHK-Shenzhen’s School of Data Science, WeBank, the FATE Open-source Community Academic Committee, Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School, and the IEEE Guangzhou Section Biometrics Council Chapter.
