Explicit Mixture of Local and Global models

This repository contains the code to run large-scale experiments presented in the paper "FLIX: A Simple and Communication-Efficient Alternative to Local Methods in Federated Learning". For small-scale experiments, look at this repository.

Building the Conda environment

./bin/create-conda-env.sh

Once the new environment has been created, you can activate the environment with the following command.

conda activate $ENV_PREFIX

Running experiments
