arXiv:2601.22669v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) facilitates decentralized collaborative learning without transmitting raw data. However, reliance on fixed global rounds or validation data for hyperparameter tuning hinders practical deployment by incurring high computational costs and privacy risks. To address this, we propose a data-free early stopping framework that determines the optimal stopping point by monitoring the task vector's growth rate using only server-side parameters.

The increasing demand for practical and privacy-preserving AI solutions, coupled with the computational and privacy challenges of traditional Federated Learning, drives innovation in optimizing its deployment.
This development enhances the practicality and efficiency of federated learning by reducing computational overhead and privacy risks, making decentralized AI more accessible and robust for sensitive applications.
Federated Learning implementations can now potentially determine optimal stopping points without relying on validation data or fixed rounds, leading to more efficient resource utilization and increased data privacy.
