VF2Boost: Very Fast Vertical Federated Gradient Boosting for Cross-Enterprise Learning

Summary: VF2Boost: a very fast vertical federated GBDT system for cross-enterprise learning. It combats idle waiting with a concurrent training protocol and speeds cryptography via custom operations, achieving 12.8–18.9x speedups and enabling larger datasets.
