arXiv:2505.09854v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As end-user device capability increases and demand for intelligent services at the Internet's edge rises, distributed learning has emerged as a key enabling technology for the intelligent edge. Existing approaches like federated learning (FL) and decentralized FL (DFL) enable privacy-preserving distributed learning among clients, while gossip learning (GL) approaches have emerged to address the potential challenges in resource-constrained, connectivity-challenged infrastructure-less environments. However, most distributed learning approaches
Advances in distributed learning techniques, coupled with increasing edge device capabilities, are making sophisticated AI deployments feasible in resource-constrained environments.
This development allows AI to operate more effectively at the network's edge, critical for applications requiring low latency, privacy, and resilience in environments lacking robust central infrastructure.
Traditional centralized AI training models are being augmented by more distributed and federated approaches capable of operating in diverse, challenging deployment scenarios.
