Latent Information Sharing for Accelerating Federated Learning

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.

Influence-Oriented Personalized Federated Learning

Influence-Oriented Personalized Federated Learning (FedC^2I) introduces a framework that quantifies both client-level and class-level influence to enable adaptive parameter aggregation in federated learning. By modeling inter-client influence through influence vectors and matrices, FedC^2I allows clients to selectively acquire knowledge from similar peers and guides the aggregation of feature representations and classifiers. Experiments under non-IID settings show that FedC^2I outperforms existing federated learning methods in effectiveness, robustness, and interpretability.

A Differentially Private Federated Proximal Optimization Framework for Customer Churn Prediction in Heterogeneous Federated Telecom Networks

The paper introduces a Differentially Private Federated Proximal (DP‑FedProx) framework for predicting customer churn in telecom networks. It compares DP‑FedProx with FedAvg, DP‑FedAvg, FedProx, and several centralized/local models on two public churn datasets, showing that DP‑FedProx consistently outperforms FedAvg variants and matches the best centralized model with only a slight accuracy loss while offering privacy guarantees. SHAP analysis reveals that DP‑FedProx prioritizes revenue‑group features, highlighting its practical balance between performance and privacy.

Global Federated Learning Strategies for Building Efficient Personalized Models

arXiv:2608. 15107v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated learning (FL) is a practical framework that can train models on distributed user data while guaranteeing data privacy; however, due to heterogeneity in which each user has a different data distribution, problems frequently arise where both global and personalization performance deteriorate simultaneously.

Federated Foundation Models over Vehicular Networks

arXiv:2606. 06786v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents a forward-looking vision for integrating the emerging multi-modal multi-task federated foundation models (M3T FedFMs) into vehicular networks, with the goal of unifying the expressive power of multi-modal multi-task foundation models (M3T FMs) with the privacy-preserving and distributed learning capabilities of federated learning (FL).

Similarity-Aware Personalized Federated Learning in Heterogeneous Environments

The paper introduces SAPE-FL, a personalization framework for Federated Learning that anchors each client’s model to both a global model and a similarity-weighted peer-averaged model. By applying dynamic, client-specific regularization based on model and output similarity, SAPE-FL balances global knowledge transfer with peer collaboration, filtering out dissimilar clients. The authors provide theoretical convergence guarantees and demonstrate empirically that SAPE-FL outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods in highly heterogeneous and low‑data scenarios.
