arXiv:2409.06067v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Previous studies on federated learning (FL) often encounter performance degradation due to data heterogeneity among different clients. In light of the recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs), such as GPT-4v and LLaVA, which demonstrate their exceptional proficiency in multimodal tasks, such as image captioning and multimodal question answering. We introduce a novel federated learning framework, named Multimodal Large Language Model Assisted Federated Learning (MLLM-LLaVA-FL), which employs powerful MLLMs at the server end
The rapid advancement and proven capabilities of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) like GPT-4v and LLaVA enable their integration into complex distributed learning systems such as federated learning, addressing previous performance bottlenecks.
This development suggests a pathway to mitigate data heterogeneity, a major challenge in federated learning, by leveraging advanced AI models to improve data efficiency and model performance in privacy-preserving environments.
The explicit use of MLLMs at the server end of federated learning frameworks introduces a new architecture that can better leverage diverse, distributed data without compromising privacy, potentially accelerating AI development.
