arXiv:2606. 10774v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Decentralized Federated Learning (DFL) over lossy wireless networks faces two key challenges: selection bias, where updates from poor-quality links are systematically underrepresented due to partial model reception, and update staleness, where asynchronous nodes contribute outdated information.

The paper presents a decentralized multitask learning framework that learns task relationships directly from distributed data. It introduces a two‑phase strategy: first estimating a generalized graph Laplacian from noisy stochastic gradient iterates, then using the learned graph to facilitate cooperative multitask diffusion learning. The authors provide theoretical analysis of Laplacian estimation error, its impact on steady‑state performance, and a topology sensitivity index, and confirm the benefits of learned task graphs through simulations.

The paper investigates federated learning where each client’s data consists of unknown mixtures of distinct tasks, a scenario termed compound heterogeneity. It shows that when tasks share a common feature geometry, the optimal model for a mixed client is a convex combination of task‑specific models, motivating input‑dependent routing to specialized experts. The authors propose FedSEE, a method that recovers task experts via a convex program and achieves better performance than baselines, reducing negative transfer by 2.9 points overall and 3.7 points for the worst‑served quartile.
