Similarity-Aware Personalized Federated Learning in Heterogeneous Environments

The paper introduces SAPE-FL, a personalization framework for Federated Learning that anchors each client’s model to both a global model and a similarity-weighted peer-averaged model. By applying dynamic, client-specific regularization based on model and output similarity, SAPE-FL balances global knowledge transfer with peer collaboration, filtering out dissimilar clients. The authors provide theoretical convergence guarantees and demonstrate empirically that SAPE-FL outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods in highly heterogeneous and low‑data scenarios.
