Abstract
This paper reports new results in adopting entropy concepts to the training of mappers such as neural networks to perform wind power prediction as a function of wind characteristics (mainly speed and direction) in wind parks connected to a power grid. Renyi's Entropy is combined with a Parzen Windows estimation of the error pdf to form the basis of three criteria (MEE, MCC and MEEF) under which neural networks are trained. The results are favourably compared with the traditional minimum square error (MSE) criterion. Real case examples for two distinct wind parks are presented.

Abstract
Federated learning (FL) is a collaborative, decentralized privacy-preserving method to attach the challenges of storing data and data privacy. Artificial intelligence, machine learning, smart devices, and deep learning have strongly marked the last years. Two challenges arose in data science as a result. First, the regulation protected the data by creating the General Data Protection Regulation, in which organizations are not allowed to keep or transfer data without the owner's authorization. Another challenge is the large volume of data generated in the era of big data, and keeping that data in one only server becomes increasingly tricky. Therefore, the data is allocated into different locations or generated by devices, creating the need to build models or perform calculations without transferring data to a single location. The new term FL emerged as a sub-area of machine learning that aims to solve the challenge of making distributed models with privacy considerations. This survey starts by describing relevant concepts, definitions, and methods, followed by an in-depth investigation of federated model evaluation. Finally, we discuss three promising applications for further research: anomaly detection, distributed data streams, and graph representation.This article is categorized under:Technologies > Machine LearningTechnologies > Artificial Intelligence
