Federated learning has the ambition to protect data privacy through distributed learning methods that keep the data in its storage silos. Likewise, differential privacy attains to improve the protection of data privacy by measuring the privacy loss in the communication among the elements of federated learning. The prospective matching of federated learning and differential privacy to the challenges of data privacy protection has caused the release of several software tools that support their functionalities, but they lack a unified vision of these techniques, and a methodological workflow that supports their usage. Hence, we present the Sherpa.ai Federated Learning framework that is built upon a holistic view of federated learning and differential privacy. It results from both the study of how to adapt the machine learning paradigm to federated learning, and the definition of methodological guidelines for developing artificial intelligence services based on federated learning and differential privacy. We show how to follow the methodological guidelines with the Sherpa.ai Federated Learning framework by means of a classification and a regression use cases.}, organization = {SHERPA Europe S.L.
