Task-Aware Federated Fine-Tuning for MoE-based Large Language Models

The paper introduces FedTAR, a task-aware federated fine‑tuning approach for Mixture‑of‑Experts (MoE) large language models. FedTAR links local client updates to task preferences using routing outputs and Singular Value Decomposition to extract low‑dimensional task coordinates and update directions. It then aggregates updates within and across task clusters, reconstructing the final update to preserve expert specialization and reduce interference, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on four benchmark tasks under non‑IID settings.

SAME: Stabilized Mixture-of-Experts for Multimodal Continual Instruction Tuning

The paper introduces SAME (Stabilized Mixture-of-Experts) to address challenges in Multimodal Continual Instruction Tuning (MCIT) for large language models. SAME mitigates router drift by decomposing routing dynamics into orthogonal subspaces and updating only task-relevant directions, while preventing expert drift through curvature‑aware scaling that uses historical input covariance without rehearsal. The method also employs adaptive expert activation to freeze selected experts during training, reducing redundant computation and cross‑task interference, and demonstrates state‑of‑the‑art performance on a new long‑task‑sequence benchmark.
