arXiv:2605.24712v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated learning (FL) enables privacy-preserving collaborative training across distributed edge devices, but real deployments involve heterogeneous clients with different processing power, memory capacity, and communication latency, which often increase round duration and system cost. This paper proposes a hardware-aware federated learning framework for emotion recognition on session-partitioned IEMOCAP that integrates hardware profiling, top-K client selection, and adaptive local epochs within a unified training loop. We compare the method aga
The proliferation of edge devices and increasing demand for privacy-preserving AI models necessitate solutions for real-world heterogeneous federated learning deployments.
This development addresses critical challenges in scaling federated learning for practical applications, making AI more accessible and privacy-compliant across diverse hardware environments.
Federated learning can now be implemented more efficiently and robustly on heterogeneous edge devices, reducing computational waste and expanding deployment possibilities.
