Federated Learning of Deep Networks using Model Averaging
TL;DR: This work presents a practical method for the federated learning of deep networks that proves robust to the unbalanced and non-IID data distributions that naturally arise, and allows high-quality models to be trained in relatively few rounds of communication.

TL;DR: The authors proposed a human evaluation framework for model answers along multiple axes including factuality, comprehension, reasoning, possible harm and bias, and showed that comprehension, knowledge recall and reasoning improve with model scale and instruction prompt tuning, suggesting the potential utility of LLMs in medicine.
