Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to methods and systems that provide a federated learning framework using Neural Graphical Models. The federated learning framework combines the individual distributions learned by each client into a global model while keeping the data of each client private within each client's environment. The methods and systems allow for knowledge sharing among the clients without data sharing.
