The proposed approach displays improvement in accuracy and uniformity across client accuracy by enhancing the fairness of the federated learning system using a novel distribution-aware algorithm.
Local Inference Guided Aggregation for Heterogeneous Training Environments to Yield Enhancement Through Agreement and Regularization (LIGHTYEAR), a federated learning framework that performs update selection in function space using an NTK-based agreement score to characterize predictive behavior and determine a persona...

Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative model training without sharing raw data, but its effectiveness degrades under Non-IID client data and inefficient participation. In such settings, FedAvg may exhibit slow convergence, high variance across rounds, and elevated communication overhead. We propose a clustered e...

Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative model training across distributed clients without sharing raw data, but its performance degrades significantly under heterogeneous data distributions. While Clustered Federated Learning (CFL) mitigates heterogeneity by grouping similar clients, most existing methods primari...

A Genetic-Algorithm (GA) based client selection mechanism that is applicable to both horizontal FL (HFL) and vertical FL (VFL) and improves global model accuracy and accelerates convergence is proposed.

This study experimentally measures the impact of non-IID data, noisy data, and fairness in client selection on model accuracy and convergence, and proposes a privacy-preserving scoring method to assess each client's contribution in FL.
