Local Superior Soups: A Catalyst for Model Merging in Cross-Silo Federated Learning

The paper introduces Local Superior Soups, a model‑interpolation based local training technique designed to improve the adaptation of large pre‑trained models in cross‑silo federated learning. By encouraging exploration of a connected low‑loss basin through regularized interpolation, the method reduces the number of communication rounds needed and boosts performance across several widely used FL datasets. The authors provide code for reproducibility.

FedOPAL: One-Shot Federated Learning via Analytic Visual Prompt Tuning

With the widespread deployment of basic models in edge intelligence, communication bandwidth has become a core bottleneck restricting the scalability of federated learning. Although one-shot federated learning alleviates this problem by minimizing communication rounds, existing iterative fine-tuning or knowledge distillation methods still face challenges such as high server-side computational costs and hyperparameter sensitivity.

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.
