The paper introduces QEF-GT-AdamW, a communication‑efficient and outage‑resilient algorithm for decentralized wireless federated learning. It combines gradient tracking, AdamW adaptive optimization, and dual‑stream biased quantization with error feedback to reduce communication payloads while mitigating non‑IID data effects. The method includes a local fallback strategy for unreliable broadcasts and provides convergence guarantees under compressed, unreliable wireless communication, demonstrating improved robustness and accuracy‑communication trade‑offs on heterogeneous MNIST and CIFAR‑10 datasets.

Federated learning (FL) over wireless networks suffers from significant training latency and degraded convergence due to unreliable wireless transmission, especially under blocked propagation environments. Although reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) can improve communication reliability, existing wireless FL studies rarely characterize the trade-off between learning convergence and communication delay under modulation-dependent transmission errors.

arXiv:2606. 10774v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Decentralized Federated Learning (DFL) over lossy wireless networks faces two key challenges: selection bias, where updates from poor-quality links are systematically underrepresented due to partial model reception, and update staleness, where asynchronous nodes contribute outdated information.

Decentralized intelligence systems with heterogeneous devices and limited coordination increasingly rely on decentralized federated learning (DFL). However, DFL suffers from convergence inefficiency under data heterogeneity due to the use of a uniform learning rate (LR) that ignores layer-specific optimization needs.

arXiv:2606. 26822v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) has become a foundational paradigm for privacy-preserving distributed intelligence, yet its scalability remains fundamentally constrained by communication bottlenecks, device heterogeneity, and the challenges of training under statistically non-IID data.

The paper introduces DMFL-SQ, a decentralized multi-task learning algorithm that integrates graph-based personalization, agnostic fairness, and compressed event-triggered communication. It provides convergence guarantees for non-convex objectives, achieving an ≠O(T^{-1/2}) stationarity rate despite sparse, quantized, and event-triggered communication, and offers PAC-Bayes generalization bounds for the fairness objective. Experiments on CIFAR-10 and the MUSMET EEG dataset show that DMFL-SQ reduces communication while preserving predictive performance and improving fairness across clients.
