Subject: Private Ads with Brave and Flower

Description: This mailing list is dedicated to participants of the joint research collaboration between CaMLSys Lab, Brave Browser, and Flower FL framework.

Brave Browser is an open-source privacy-focused browser with its own advertisement serving system, called Brave Ads, which serves ads as push notifications, whlst Flower is the open-source Federated Learning framework that allows this to happen.

In this project, we want to leverage the power of federated learning to find the best times to show an ad notification through Brave Ads. This is done by learning a global ad timing model without ever having the user's data leave their devices. With your help, we can prove this works and lead the way towards more private digital advertising!
