arXiv:2607. 23245v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Federated Learning is often challenged by arbitrary modality missingness and Non-IID data distributions, which lead to severe representation drift and hinder effective collaboration across clients.

arXiv:2608. 09240v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal federated learning (FL) supports collaborative modeling in privacy-sensitive health-sensing and medical settings, but realistic deployments often exhibit dual-axis modality missingness: clients have different modality sets, and individual samples may contain only subsets of the modalities available locally.

arXiv:2409. 06067v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Previous studies on federated learning (FL) often encounter performance degradation due to data heterogeneity among different clients.

arXiv:2607. 15687v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal-attributed graphs (MAGs), whose nodes carry modalities such as images and text alongside topological structure, now pervade applications including social platforms, e-commerce, and biomedical networks, offering richer semantic signals than single-modality graphs.

One-shot federated learning (OSFL) addresses the communication overhead of federated learning by limiting training to a single round, but doing so without sacrificing model quality is non-trivial, particularly when client data distributions diverge. Recent work has addressed this challenge by aggregating client knowledge on the server through the construction of transferable synthetic datasets or distillates.
