Asynchronous federated learning improves scalability by updating the global model from a server-side buffer of client updates as they arrive, rather than waiting for all selected clients to finish. Wh...

Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative model training across distributed client devices while preserving data privacy. However, FL faces significant challenges due to data heterogeneity, particularly in terms of label distribution skewness and variations in dataset sizes, which can lead to biased model updates and hinder convergence.
FedCC is a new algorithm for distillation-based federated learning that tackles label distribution skew by allowing clients to mark ambiguous samples as 'unknown' instead of forcing a potentially wrong classification. By adding this extra class and calibrating pseudo-labels on a public dataset, FedCC balances confidence across majority and minority classes. Experiments show that FedCC outperforms existing methods, achieving 67.3% accuracy even when each client has data from only one of ten classes, whereas baselines drop to near-random performance.
Federated Learning (FL) enables distributed clients to collaboratively train models without sharing raw data, making it promising for leveraging massive devices in communication networks. In distillat...
