Abstract(in English) Recently, wearable devices that install multiple sensors have been widely used. Although sensor data from these devices are used to train machine learning models, to improve performance of the model of machine learning requires significant amount of data. Federated learning (FL) is proposed as a cooperative distributed machine learning without sharing personal data, but it still requires a server to manage devices and aggregate models in a central way. This paper proposes a serverless collaborative learning algorithm to reduce the maintenance cost of the server and prevent only good models are concentrated in a few companies. The proposed method adopts gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) so that devices with a limited computation resources can join in the collaborative learning. Moreover, the devices can asynchronously share the models in collaborative learning to improving learning speed considering a difference in calculation speed among the devices.
