Decentralized intelligence systems with heterogeneous devices and limited coordination increasingly rely on decentralized federated learning (DFL). However, DFL suffers from convergence inefficiency under data heterogeneity due to the use of a uniform learning rate (LR) that ignores layer-specific optimization needs.
The paper introduces FedSWE, a federated learning algorithm designed to handle non‑stationary and heterogeneous client availability without requiring prior real‑time knowledge of which devices are online. FedSWE compensates for missed computations, stabilizes global updates, and mixes local updates through implicit gossiping, all while adding only modest memory and computational overhead. The authors prove that FedSWE converges to a stationary point for non‑convex objectives and achieves linear speedup in certain scenarios, and they validate these claims with experiments on real‑world datasets featuring diverse client unavailability patterns.
