FedTR: Federated Learning Framework with Transfer Learning for Industrial Visual Inspection

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2607. 08014v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated learning (FL) is a collaborative learning scheme to train deep learning models, where collaborating parties can consolidate their models without sharing local data with other parties, hence preserving data privacy.

ISP-AD: A Large-Scale Real-World Dataset for Advancing Industrial Anomaly Detection with Synthetic and Real Defects

The paper introduces ISP-AD, the largest publicly available industrial anomaly detection dataset, featuring both synthetic and real defects from a factory floor. It focuses on challenging, small, weakly contrasted surface defects within highly variable structured patterns, addressing the bias of existing datasets toward ideal imaging conditions. Experiments demonstrate that even a small amount of weakly labeled real defects improves model generalization and that synthetic defects can serve as a useful cold‑start baseline for scalable training.

SynSur: An end-to-end generative pipeline for synthetic industrial surface defect generation and detection

arXiv:2604. 26633v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Industrial surface defect inspection suffers from a fundamental data bottleneck: defects are rare, annotations require expert knowledge, and collecting balanced training sets is slow and costly.

Class-wise Contribution Estimation via Logit Maximization for Federated Learning

The paper introduces CELM, a data‑free framework for federated learning that estimates class‑wise contribution by maximizing logits. It constructs a cross‑client evidence matrix to quantify each client’s competence and coverage for each class, then uses this matrix to compute weighted aggregation that upweights clients offering strong evidence for underrepresented classes. The method maintains stability through simplex constraints and momentum smoothing, and it is compatible with standard FL pipelines, showing improved robustness to class imbalance and heterogeneity on vision benchmarks.
