arXiv:2607. 23029v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated learning enables collaborative model training across distributed clients without centralising their data, yet privacy remains a persistent concern because the shared model updates can leak information about local datasets.
The paper investigates the trade‑off between the costs of participating in federated learning (privacy, communication, compute) and the potential gains in model performance, framing this as a game‑theoretic problem of individual rationality versus autarky. It shows that clients can remain below their local‑training baseline for many rounds and that simply capping per‑round contributions harms learning. The authors propose a new mechanism that provides short‑term participation guarantees and personalized model evaluation, demonstrating theoretically and empirically that clients can avoid short‑term losses without significantly harming overall performance, even under moderate heterogeneity.

The paper introduces a general learning framework that protects privacy in federated learning by distorting model parameters, enabling a trade‑off between privacy and utility. The algorithm supports arbitrary privacy measurements and delivers personalized utility‑privacy balances for each parameter, client, and communication round. The authors prove that the gap between their algorithm’s utility loss and the optimal loss is sub‑linear in iterations, provide a convergence rate, and demonstrate empirically that their method outperforms baselines under the same privacy budget.
