We assume that, additionally to the training data from every user, local validation and test datasets are available. This assumption is only needed for the assessment purpose, in the normal operation of the MUSKETEER platform those datasets are not mandatory, and all of the algorithms are able to train a model without a validation set, although in some cases an improved convergence/speedup is obtained if such a validation dataset is provided. Anyhow, it is a common situation that the user in charge of aggregating the weights of a model has a test set, to evaluate the final performance achieved by the trained models.
