Towards Federated Foundation Models: Scalable Dataset Pipelines for Group-Structured Learning Zachary Charles
We introduce Dataset Grouper, a library to create large-scale group-structured (e.g., federated) datasets, enabling federated learning simulation at the scale of foundation models. This library facilitates the creation of group-structured versions of existing datasets based on user-specified partitions, and directly leads to a variety of useful heterogeneous datasets that can be plugged into existing software frameworks. Dataset Grouper offers three key advantages. First, it scales to settings where even a single group's dataset is too large to fit in memory. Second, it provides flexibility, both in choosing the base (non-partitioned) dataset and in defining partitions.
Palestinians in Gaza say 'Board of Peace' will further occupation

Optimal Subsampling with Influence Functions
As the amount of data increases, the question arises as to how best to deal with the large datasets. While computational platforms such as Spark [28] and Ray [23] help process large datasets once a desired model is chosen, simply using smaller data can be a faster solution for exploratory data modeling, rapid prototyping, or other tasks where the accuracy obtainable from the full dataset is notneeded.
