Influence-Oriented Personalized Federated Learning

Read the original on arXiv AI →

Influence-Oriented Personalized Federated Learning (FedC^2I) introduces a framework that quantifies both client-level and class-level influence to enable adaptive parameter aggregation in federated learning. By modeling inter-client influence through influence vectors and matrices, FedC^2I allows clients to selectively acquire knowledge from similar peers and guides the aggregation of feature representations and classifiers. Experiments under non-IID settings show that FedC^2I outperforms existing federated learning methods in effectiveness, robustness, and interpretability.

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.

FedTVD: Balancing Data Quality and Quantity for Robust Federated Learning

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.
