Anticorruption Techs to Face a Global Economy - Federated Learning, Open Data Catalogues, and 'Blockchain'

Fragmentation of production across national boundaries results in global supply chains. To govern effectively in this type of economy requires a combination of public data with private initiatives (from business, banks and NGOs). But basically, there are three major challenges to that: a) data comprises distributed and isolated data sets; b) analytics requires models to be trained across these independent data sets; and c) data sovereignty and specific privacy legislations make it difficult to collect, share and analyze data. Our research proposes three complementary paths to overcome these problems: 1) the use of federated learning; 2) the creation of open data catalogues; and 3) the design of distributed ledger technologies
