Latent Information Sharing for Accelerating Federated Learning

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.

Online-Score-Aided Federated Learning for Resource-Constrained Wireless Clients with Continual Data Arrival

arXiv:2408. 05886v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Heterogeneous system configurations of distributed clients connected to the central server (CS) via a time-varying wireless network pose significant challenges for popular distributed machine learning (ML) algorithms such as federated learning (FL).
