CROSS-VALIDATION OF A LEARNING MACHINE MODEL ACROSS NETWORK DEVICES

In one embodiment, a first network device receives a notification that the first network device has been selected to validate a machine learning model for a second network device. The first network device receives model parameters for the machine learning model that were generated by the second network device using training data on the second network device. The model parameters are used with local data on the first network device to determine performance metrics for the model parameters. The performance metrics are then provided to the second network device.
