The paper introduces FedRoRA, a federated learning framework that combines Low‑Rank Adaptation (LoRA) with rank‑heterogeneous personalization. It separates model adaptation into shared global directions and client‑specific rank‑wise magnitudes, using SVD on the server to extract a global subspace and a personalized projection with top‑k selection for each client. Experiments on natural language understanding and generation tasks show that FedRoRA outperforms existing state‑of‑the‑art methods.

arXiv:2608. 15381v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) enables efficient federated fine-tuning of large language models, but its factorized parameterization creates a tension between accurate aggregation of local updates and continuity of locally optimized factors.

arXiv:2601. 11219v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Federated learning (FL) for large language models (LLMs) has attracted increasing attention as a privacy-preserving approach for adapting models over distributed data, where parameter-efficient methods such as Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) are widely adopted to reduce communication and memory costs.

FedLore introduces a communication- and memory-efficient federated learning framework that shares a low-rank optimization basis across clients each round, mitigating subspace fragmentation and enabling exact low-rank aggregation. By refreshing this shared basis across rounds, FedLore allows model updates to exceed the per-round rank budget while maintaining a provable $O(T^{-1/2})$ stationarity bound under standard assumptions. Experiments on vision and language tasks, including federated pre‑training, demonstrate that FedLore outperforms low‑rank adapter baselines and matches or surpasses full‑parameter training while reducing communication and optimizer‑state memory.
