FedCC is a new algorithm for distillation-based federated learning that tackles label distribution skew by allowing clients to mark ambiguous samples as 'unknown' instead of forcing a potentially wrong classification. By adding this extra class and calibrating pseudo-labels on a public dataset, FedCC balances confidence across majority and minority classes. Experiments show that FedCC outperforms existing methods, achieving 67.3% accuracy even when each client has data from only one of ten classes, whereas baselines drop to near-random performance.

Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative model training across distributed client devices while preserving data privacy. However, FL faces significant challenges due to data heterogeneity, particularly in terms of label distribution skewness and variations in dataset sizes, which can lead to biased model updates and hinder convergence.

The paper addresses the mismatch between learner and client data distributions in federated learning, noting that traditional client selection methods often ignore this misalignment. It introduces a dynamic, influence-aware client selection framework that uses a small proxy dataset to estimate each client's utility for the learner’s objective, prioritizing informative sources while mitigating noise and heterogeneity. Experiments on CIFAR-10 with heterogeneous partitions show the proposed method outperforms static and dynamic baselines, achieving faster convergence and higher accuracy.
