arXiv:2607. 08013v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) empowers multiple clients to collaboratively learn a model, enlarging the training data of each client for high accuracy while protecting data privacy.
FlexP-SFT introduces an aggregation-free framework for personalized split federated fine-tuning of large language models, eliminating the client-side aggregation step that traditionally causes communication bottlenecks and straggler issues. The method employs a layer‑flexible alignment strategy to balance personalization and generalization without global synchronization, and formulates split‑ratio selection as a resource‑aware discrete optimization problem. Experiments demonstrate that FlexP-SFT improves both accuracy and latency compared to baselines, achieving a superior resource‑accuracy trade‑off.

The paper introduces GQ-FSL, a green quantized federated split learning framework designed for wireless edge networks. It uses stochastic quantization for both local training and wireless transmissions, allowing asymmetric precision between client and server submodels to balance device energy limits with global convergence. The authors develop energy models and a convergence bound for heterogeneous data, then formulate an optimization problem to set the DNN split point and precision levels, achieving lower energy consumption while meeting latency and accuracy targets.
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.
