arXiv:2607. 04085v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Routing-prediction federated learning has emerged as a new paradigm that reframes inter-client heterogeneity as a resource for system-level intelligence: at inference time, the server routes each external query to the best-matched client for prediction.

The paper investigates federated learning where each client’s data consists of unknown mixtures of distinct tasks, a scenario termed compound heterogeneity. It shows that when tasks share a common feature geometry, the optimal model for a mixed client is a convex combination of task‑specific models, motivating input‑dependent routing to specialized experts. The authors propose FedSEE, a method that recovers task experts via a convex program and achieves better performance than baselines, reducing negative transfer by 2.9 points overall and 3.7 points for the worst‑served quartile.
