Edge Learning Lab - A unique test bed environment

The Edge Learning enables developers, data scientists, students, researchers, and other users to explore the possibilities and limitations of edge learning. To launch the Edge Learning Lab, AI Sweden joined forces with several partner organisations. The rapid advancement of technologies calls for new ways to transfer, store and process data. Data transferring methods also need to be cost-efficient and legally compliant while keeping sensitive information safe. Distributed and federated learning may be the answer.
