arXiv:2409. 06067v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Previous studies on federated learning (FL) often encounter performance degradation due to data heterogeneity among different clients.
arXiv:2608. 15310v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal data collected by heterogeneous devices are used for collaborative training, where federated learning (FL) serves as a key paradigm for effective distributed modeling with data privacy preservation.
The paper introduces a latent information sharing scheme for federated learning that mitigates client drift by sharing a small amount of hidden‑layer activations. The authors demonstrate both theoretically and empirically that this approach improves training efficiency while maintaining convergence guarantees and data privacy. Compared to existing methods such as FedProx, SCAFFOLD, FedPVR, FedProto, and SplitFed, the proposed method achieves higher model accuracy within a fixed round budget without adding significant communication overhead.

arXiv:2607. 07565v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: One-shot federated learning (OSFL) addresses the communication overhead of federated learning by limiting training to a single round, but doing so without sacrificing model quality is non-trivial, particularly when client data distributions diverge.
arXiv:2606. 01856v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Federated Learning (MMFL) enables privacy-preserving collaborative learning across decentralized clients with heterogeneous data and modality availability.
The paper addresses the mismatch between learner and client data distributions in federated learning, noting that traditional client selection methods often ignore this misalignment. It introduces a dynamic, influence-aware client selection framework that uses a small proxy dataset to estimate each client's utility for the learner’s objective, prioritizing informative sources while mitigating noise and heterogeneity. Experiments on CIFAR-10 with heterogeneous partitions show the proposed method outperforms static and dynamic baselines, achieving faster convergence and higher accuracy.

arXiv:2608. 14654v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) is a collaborative paradigm that enables multiple devices to train a global model while preserving local data privacy.
The paper introduces Local Superior Soups, a model‑interpolation based local training technique designed to improve the adaptation of large pre‑trained models in cross‑silo federated learning. By encouraging exploration of a connected low‑loss basin through regularized interpolation, the method reduces the number of communication rounds needed and boosts performance across several widely used FL datasets. The authors provide code for reproducibility.
