Joint Domain-Class Modeling for Federated Learning Under Feature Skew

The paper introduces Joint Domain-Class Federated Learning (JDFL), a lightweight, optimizer‑agnostic extension designed to address feature skew in federated learning. JDFL infers pseudo‑domains from local update signals and expands the classifier head to output joint domain‑class logits, enabling the model to capture domain‑conditioned appearance while sharing a backbone. Two supervision strategies—similarity‑aware soft‑labeling and per‑sample randomized target assignment—are proposed to train the expanded head, and experiments on domain‑shifted image benchmarks show consistent improvements in global test accuracy over standard FL methods.
