Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative learning over decentralized data silos without centralizing raw data. However, heterogeneous local architectures often induce non-aligned representation spaces, making it difficult to transfer global knowledge across silos.

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.
