StoCFL is a clustered federated learning framework designed to address Non-IID data and dynamic client participation. It introduces a flexible clustering mechanism that allows arbitrary client participation and accommodates newly joined clients, improving data efficiency and model performance. Experiments on four Non-IID settings and a real-world dataset demonstrate that StoCFL achieves promising cluster results even when the number of clusters is unknown, outperforming baseline approaches across various scenarios.

arXiv:2608. 01426v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated learning (FL) enables distributed optimization and learning across decentralized edge devices while preserving data privacy, but its performance is fundamentally constrained by heterogeneous data distributions, limited communication resources, and energy availability.
The paper introduces RoCo-FL, a robust and convergent framework for Over-the-Air Federated Learning that addresses channel noise, fading, and data/system heterogeneity. RoCo-FL models local updates with inexact optimization and a proximal constraint to stabilize updates under wireless impairments and stragglers. The authors provide convergence guarantees for non-convex objectives and demonstrate improved stability and accuracy on CIFAR10, CIFAR100, and FEMNIST compared to existing baselines.
arXiv:2606. 06687v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We investigate cluster formation, involving the number and composition of clusters, in decentralized federated learning (FL) with heterogeneous machine learning (ML) optimizers.
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.
