arXiv:2606.16304v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated unlearning (FU) enables the removal of specific data contributions from federated learning (FL) models to comply with regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). However, most existing FU methods are designed for the FedAvg paradigm, where all clients share a single global model. In practice, personalized federated learning (pFL) methods such as FedPer, FedRep, Ditto, and FedBN have become widely adopted due to their superior handling of non-IID data. These methods decompose the model into shared global layers and
The increasing focus on data privacy regulations like GDPR is driving the need for sophisticated data management techniques in federated learning models.
Ensuring compliance and ethical AI practices is crucial for the widespread adoption and public trust in federated learning, particularly in personalized applications.
The development of layer-aware federated unlearning methods allows for more granular and efficient data removal in complex personalized federated learning systems.
