Multimodal Federated Learning under Dual-Axis Modality Missingness

arXiv:2608. 09240v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal federated learning (FL) supports collaborative modeling in privacy-sensitive health-sensing and medical settings, but realistic deployments often exhibit dual-axis modality missingness: clients have different modality sets, and individual samples may contain only subsets of the modalities available locally.

Toward Federated Multimodal Graph Foundation Models: A Topology-Aware Multimodal Alignment Framework

arXiv:2607. 15687v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal-attributed graphs (MAGs), whose nodes carry modalities such as images and text alongside topological structure, now pervade applications including social platforms, e-commerce, and biomedical networks, offering richer semantic signals than single-modality graphs.

Collaborative Synthetic Data Generation for Knowledge Transfer in Federated Learning

One-shot federated learning (OSFL) addresses the communication overhead of federated learning by limiting training to a single round, but doing so without sacrificing model quality is non-trivial, particularly when client data distributions diverge. Recent work has addressed this challenge by aggregating client knowledge on the server through the construction of transferable synthetic datasets or distillates.

MedMix: Specialization-Consistent Federated Sparse MoEs under Modality Heterogeneity

arXiv:2608. 13911v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated multimodal medical AI faces modality heterogeneity at both the client and sample levels: clients may systematically lack access to specific modality types, while individual records within the same client may contain different partial modality subsets.
