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.

Asynchronous federated learning improves scalability by updating the global model from a server-side buffer of client updates as they arrive, rather than waiting for all selected clients to finish. Wh...

The paper introduces SAPE-FL, a personalization framework for Federated Learning that anchors each client’s model to both a global model and a similarity-weighted peer-averaged model. By applying dynamic, client-specific regularization based on model and output similarity, SAPE-FL balances global knowledge transfer with peer collaboration, filtering out dissimilar clients. The authors provide theoretical convergence guarantees and demonstrate empirically that SAPE-FL outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods in highly heterogeneous and low‑data scenarios.
