The paper introduces Local Superior Soups, a model‑interpolation based local training technique designed to improve the adaptation of large pre‑trained models in cross‑silo federated learning. By encouraging exploration of a connected low‑loss basin through regularized interpolation, the method reduces the number of communication rounds needed and boosts performance across several widely used FL datasets. The authors provide code for reproducibility.

FedSAP is a federated learning framework that addresses heterogeneous edge devices by using structured pruning as a budget-constrained tri-state channel allocation. It partitions model channels into a Global pool, pseudo-domain-specific Private pools, and a Dropped state, allowing broadly useful features to be shared while isolating domain-sensitive updates. Experiments on Digits and Office-Caltech datasets show FedSAP achieving higher mean global accuracy than the strongest baseline while supporting up to 80% client pruning ratios.
