Package Limitation: Neural Network Architecture Support #2809

Open ouaelesi opened 8 months ago

What is your question?

Does the Package Exclusively Support Neural Network Architectures to train models?

Please elaborate your question a bit more, what type of model do you want to federate with Flower?

I think @ouaelesi was wondering if Flower supports other forms of ML that do not make use of Neural Networks. We do have several examples that show how you can do FL without NNs, just to name a few: quickstart-XGboost, quickstart-Pandas, quickstart-sklearn.

@ouaelesi, does this answer your question ? Do you work with other frameworks not present in our examples/ directory?
