arXiv:2606.07621v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Edge services increasingly use federated learning to personalize on-device models while keeping sensitive data local. In practice, deployments must handle heterogeneity in both client resources and local data distributions. Model-heterogeneous federated learning lowers client cost by allowing each client to train a subnet of a shared supernet, but most subnet-allocation policies are driven by device constraints and do not explicitly account for statistical heterogeneity. This paper proposes Heterogeneity-Aware Subnet Allocation (HASA), a train-on
The increasing prevalence of federated learning in edge services, combined with diverse client resources and data, necessitates optimized subnet allocation methods.
Improving efficiency and personalization in federated learning directly impacts the scalability and cost-effectiveness of AI deployments at the edge, crucial for wider adoption.
This research introduces a method that intelligently allocates subnets in federated learning, optimizing for statistical heterogeneity and device constraints, making on-device AI more practical.
