Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative model training across distributed client devices while preserving data privacy. However, FL faces significant challenges due to data heterogeneity, particularly in terms of label distribution skewness and variations in dataset sizes, which can lead to biased model updates and hinder convergence.

The paper introduces pFedMARL, a federated learning framework that uses multi‑agent reinforcement learning with TD3 to dynamically adjust client contributions and personalize models. It applies a server‑side agent to optimize global aggregation and client‑side agents to balance global and local updates, eliminating the need for pre‑training. Experiments on a semi‑supervised audio spectrogram transformer show that pFedMARL outperforms or matches FedAvg, Ditto, and local training across various non‑IID settings and against adversarial clients, improving accuracy, robustness, and fairness.

FedSAP is a federated learning framework that addresses heterogeneous edge devices by using structured pruning as a budget-constrained tri-state channel allocation. It partitions model channels into a Global pool, pseudo-domain-specific Private pools, and a Dropped state, allowing broadly useful features to be shared while isolating domain-sensitive updates. Experiments on Digits and Office-Caltech datasets show FedSAP achieving higher mean global accuracy than the strongest baseline while supporting up to 80% client pruning ratios.
