arXiv:2608. 01290v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time-series foundation models (TSFMs) such as Chronos have demonstrated strong forecasting capabilities across domains, yet adapting them to institutionally fragmented settings, where data cannot be centralized due to regulatory, competitive, or sovereignty constraints, remains unexplored.
arXiv:2606. 02563v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Heterogeneous Differential Privacy (HDP) in Federated Learning (FL) allows clients to select individual privacy budgets ($\varepsilon_i$) according to institutional policies and data sensitivity.
arXiv:2608. 15153v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Differentially private federated learning must balance privacy protection against model accuracy and training efficiency.
arXiv:2607. 20914v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) enables communication-efficient adaptation of large pretrained models on decentralized edge data, but it remains fragile under non-IID client heterogeneity.
Heterogeneous Differential Privacy (HDP) in Federated Learning (FL) allows clients to select individual privacy budgets ($\varepsilon_i$) according to institutional policies and data sensitivity. In practice, many HDP-FL systems employ $\varepsilon$-aware server aggregation to improve model utility by re-weighting client updates according to their declared privacy budgets.
arXiv:2609.05770v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Differentially private (DP) fine-tuning methods treat sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models as a single dense block, ignoring that shared layers see a...
RegionFed is a federated learning framework designed for personalized query understanding in retail search systems that face significant data heterogeneity across geographic regions. By operating at the gradient level and using the β1 conflict between regional and global gradients, it diagnoses heterogeneity, selects appropriate personalization strategies, and controls personalization strength without requiring code changes for different architectures. The method achieves near‑centralized performance (92.27%) on transformers and CNNs while providing differential privacy and theoretical convergence guarantees.
arXiv:2608. 11359v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electricity price forecasting is crucial for market participants but remains difficult because prices are volatile, market-specific, and closely tied to anticipated system conditions.
arXiv:2606. 03209v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) in privacy-sensitive and resource-constrained environments remains challenging.
arXiv:2608. 10891v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time series forecasting in privacy-sensitive domains often requires training models on released data rather than original observations.
arXiv:2607. 07565v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 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.
Federated adaptation of time-series foundation models (TSFMs) is attractive for building energy forecasting because meter data are private, distributed, and highly non-IID. However, a single parameter-sharing strategy is unlikely to serve all pretrained TSFMs or building clients: fully shared adapters can suppress building-specific temporal behavior, while fully local adaptation discards cross-building transfer.
Electricity price forecasting is crucial for market participants but remains difficult because prices are volatile, market-specific, and closely tied to anticipated system conditions. Existing supervised methods depend largely on market-specific historical data, limiting their use in newly established or data-scarce markets.
