Resilience Beyond Stationary Client Unavailability: Unlocking Efficient and Unbiased Federated Learning

The paper introduces FedSWE, a federated learning algorithm designed to handle non‑stationary and heterogeneous client availability without requiring prior real‑time knowledge of which devices are online. FedSWE compensates for missed computations, stabilizes global updates, and mixes local updates through implicit gossiping, all while adding only modest memory and computational overhead. The authors prove that FedSWE converges to a stationary point for non‑convex objectives and achieves linear speedup in certain scenarios, and they validate these claims with experiments on real‑world datasets featuring diverse client unavailability patterns.

Robust Federated Learning Under Real-World Client Churn

arXiv:2607. 06979v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) enables training shared models on private, on-device data, but production deployments remain constrained to slow, multi-day refresh cycles due to the complexity of coordinating massive client populations.

Decentralised Federated Learning over Temporal Networks: The Role of Heterogeneities

arXiv:2607. 03171v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Decentralised federated learning, based on peer-to-peer communication, is increasingly proposed for on-device training of machine learning models, promising a privacy-preserving, communication-efficient training process with no risk of single-point failure.

SWB-DM: A Calibrated Sliced-Wasserstein-Barycenter Aggregator with Delayed-Momentum Caching for Byzantine-Robust Federated Learning under Partial Participation

The paper introduces SWB-DM, a Byzantine‑robust federated learning aggregator that treats each slice of a client update as a one‑dimensional distribution, computes a trimmed Wasserstein barycenter across clients, and uses a medoid‑based gauge‑fixing step to recover coordinate identity. It further incorporates delayed‑momentum caching to decouple robustness from the specific clients sampled each round. Extensive experiments on CIFAR‑10, CIFAR‑100, FEMNIST, and a 500‑client scalability run reveal distinct failure modes of existing defenses and demonstrate that SWB‑DM achieves significant gains, especially when compared under equal round budgets.

Distributed Learning as a Service: The Developer's Perspective

The paper introduces Distributed Learning as a Service (DLaaS), a platform that lets developers launch distributed/federated learning jobs through a single admin dashboard. It offers declarative options such as Differential Privacy, Split Learning, Hierarchical Aggregation, and Knowledge Distillation without requiring changes to client code. The authors demonstrate the full service lifecycle on an industrial smart‑home Wake‑up Word task using the Ok Aura dataset, showing live operation across Android clients and Dockerized aggregators, and releasing the source code and video walkthroughs.
