This decision correspondingly enables the training data to be distributed, guaranteeing that the individual device\u2019s data are secluded. The paper systematically reviewed the available literature using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guiding principle. The study presents a systematic review of appliable ML approaches for FL, reviews the categorization of FL, discusses the FL application areas, presents the relationship between FL and Blockchain Technology (BT), and discusses some existing literature that has used FL and ML approaches. The study also examined applicable machine learning models for federated learning. The inclusion measures were (i) published between 2017 and 2021, (ii) written in English, (iii) published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, and (iv) Preprint published papers. Unpublished studies, thesis and dissertation studies, (ii) conference papers, (iii) not in English, and (iv) did not use artificial intelligence models and blockchain technology were all removed from the review. In total, 84 eligible papers were finally examined in this study. Finally, in recent years, the amount of research on ML using FL has increased. Accuracy equivalent to standard feature-based techniques has been attained, and ensembles of many algorithms may yield even better results. We discovered that the best results were obtained from the hybrid design of an ML ensemble employing expert features. However, some additional difficulties and issues need to be overcome, such as efficiency, complexity, and smaller datasets. In addition, novel FL applications should be investigated from the standpoint of the datasets and methodologies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info13050263","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,23]],"date-time":"2022-05-23T22:57:22Z","timestamp":1653346642000},"page":"263","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":61,"title":["A Review on Federated Learning and Machine Learning Approaches: Categorization, Application Areas, and Blockchain Technology"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2592-2824","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roseline Oluwaseun","family":"Ogundokun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Multimedia Engineering, Kaunas University of Technology, 51368 Kaunas, Lithuania"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3556-9331","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sanjay","family":"Misra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Communication, \u00d8stfold University College, 1757 Halden, Norway"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2809-2213","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rytis","family":"Maskeliunas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Multimedia Engineering, Kaunas University of Technology, 51368 Kaunas, Lithuania"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9990-1084","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robertas","family":"Damasevicius","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Informatics, Vytautas Magnus University, 44404 Kaunas, Lithuania"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Misra, S., Kumar Tyagi, A., Piuri, V., and Garg, L.
