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.

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.
arXiv:2605. 11165v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Federated learning (FL) in heterogeneous environments remains challenging because client models often differ in both architecture and data distribution.

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.
arXiv:2608. 02250v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated learning (FL) is a popular distributed learning framework where multiple clients perform local training and a server aggregates the locally updated models.
arXiv:2606. 30499v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated Learning often suffers under non-independently and identically distributed data, where a single global model may fail to represent the diversity of client distributions.
arXiv:2606. 30161v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated learning typically aggregates client updates using fixed or heuristic weighting rules, which can be suboptimal when clients have heterogeneous data and varying contributions to the global model.
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.
