LoaDiff is a diffusion-based generative model that produces year-long, sub-hourly smart‑meter electricity consumption time series. It can be conditioned on static household attributes like appliance ownership and dynamic factors such as calendar dates and outdoor temperature. Evaluations on three residential datasets show that LoaDiff generates realistic, diverse load profiles, limits memorization, retains useful information for downstream tasks, and responds coherently to conditioning changes.

The paper proposes an opinion‑dynamics approach to form client coalitions in federated learning for heterogeneous IoT systems, specifically targeting smart‑meter water‑consumption forecasting. By modeling coalition formation as a Hegselmann‑Krause bounded‑confidence process on local model weights, the method creates stable coalition structures within ten iterations without extra client computation or communication. Experiments on real smart‑meter data show the HK‑based coalitions reduce mean absolute error by up to 54% compared to FedAvg and achieve the highest global accuracy (83‑85%).

arXiv:2608. 15107v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated learning (FL) is a practical framework that can train models on distributed user data while guaranteeing data privacy; however, due to heterogeneity in which each user has a different data distribution, problems frequently arise where both global and personalization performance deteriorate simultaneously.

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.

arXiv:2607. 22590v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid growth of AI workloads and renewable energy resources exacerbates supply-demand imbalance in power systems, making traditional load regulation designed for efficient allocation inadequate and motivating demand response (DR) mechanisms to enable load controllability in smart grids.
