For AI-powered systems to be truly successful in practical and everyday scenarios, it is not just enough for these systems to generate optimized decisions, but they need to be capable of working and collaborating with users from all walks of life. One major requirement for developing such systems is the need to imbue them with the ability to effectively model the expectations of their users, and to be capable of explaining their decisions and the rationale behind them in intuitive terms when such expectations cannot be met.

EECS Colloquium: Collaborative machine learning via model fusion, by Nghia Hoang
Online

The classic machine learning (ML) paradigm involves algorithms that learn from centralized data, possibly pooled together from multiple data sources. The computations involved may be done on a single machine or farmed out to a cluster of machines but are inherently restricted within the availability of in-house resources. As a result, such algorithms often fail to utilize the computation and communication capability of their entire ecosystem to support their ever-growing scales.
