arXiv:2606. 31331v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Collaborative inference can improve predictive performance by integrating complementary information across agents, but applying collaborative fusion to every sample can incur unnecessary communication and computational overhead.
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.
The paper proposes a new federated learning approach called FedALS that reduces communication costs by varying aggregation frequencies across model layers. It derives tighter generalization bounds for one‑round and multi‑round federated learning, linking these bounds to local updates and data heterogeneity. Based on representation‑learning insights, the authors argue that infrequent aggregation of early layers and more frequent aggregation of final layers yields more generalizable models, especially in non‑iid settings, and demonstrate the method’s effectiveness experimentally.

StoCFL is a clustered federated learning framework designed to address Non-IID data and dynamic client participation. It introduces a flexible clustering mechanism that allows arbitrary client participation and accommodates newly joined clients, improving data efficiency and model performance. Experiments on four Non-IID settings and a real-world dataset demonstrate that StoCFL achieves promising cluster results even when the number of clusters is unknown, outperforming baseline approaches across various scenarios.

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.
