From this article, you’ll learn how Google is supposed to replace cookie-based tracking by using some federated learning concepts. You’ll also learn the details of algorithms that could shape the future of the online industry. I will show you how to reproduce this approach to segment users by their book interests.
The success of the machine learning projects depends on access to high-quality and large-scale datasets. So far, the common methodology for creating models has been to collect user’s data in the central place and use it however you want.
