arXiv:2607.01366v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated learning (FL) research often depends on many small but consequential algorithmic choices: optimizer variants, server aggregation rules, local training schedules, normalization, regularization, and model architecture. These choices are expensive to explore manually and difficult to compare fairly when candidate changes can also alter the FL training or evaluation path. In this work, we present Auto-FL-Research (AFR), a constrained coding-agent workflow for FL algorithmic recipe search. Agents may propose and implement candidate training
The increasing complexity and computational expense of optimizing federated learning algorithms necessitate automated search methods to accelerate research and deployment.
This development streamlines the costly and time-consuming process of FL algorithm selection, speeding up the adoption of privacy-preserving machine learning.
The reliance on manual and heuristic-driven exploration for FL algorithm design is reduced, leading to more efficient and potentially more performant solutions.
