Abstract

Federated learning has a great potential to create solutions working over different sources without data transfer. However current federated methods are not explainable nor auditable. In this paper we propose a Federated data mining method to discover association rules. More accurately, we define what we consider as interesting itemsets and propose an algorithm to obtain them. This approach facilitates the interoperability and reusability, and it is based on the accessibility to data. These properties are quite aligned with the FAIR principles.
