Not entirely related: I've just ended my internship at the Italian research council, where I worked on implementing federated learning algorithms on a simulator to make benchmarking easy. I couldn't finish my job because an algorithm I was trying to port developed by IBM had hardcoded values that prevented the algorithm from working with different models than the ones already coded by them in their code. There was also a comment like "this is hardcoded for now, will be changed later" yeah last commit was 4 years ago https://github.com/IBM/FedMA https://github.com/IBM/FedMA
