ProMoE-FL: Prototype-conditioned Mixture of Experts for Multimodal Federated Learning with Missing Modalities

arXiv:2607.06633v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we address the problem of multimodal federated learning with missing modality. Existing methods utilize an additional public dataset or perform naive feature synthesis that is based solely on the available modality. To address these limitations, we propose ProMoE-FL, a Prototype-conditioned Mixture-of-Experts framework for robust missing-modality feature synthesis in multimodal federated learning. ProMoE-FL builds a global client-aware prototype bank that captures clinically meaningful modality priors across institutions. Our Mix
The increasing complexity of real-world data and the need for privacy-preserving machine learning solutions across diverse datasets necessitate advancements in federated learning with multimodal capabilities.
This development allows for more robust and private AI solutions, especially in fields like healthcare that deal with sensitive and often incomplete multimodal patient data, accelerating the adoption of distributed AI.
Multimodal federated learning can now better handle missing data without relying on public datasets or simplistic feature synthesis, enhancing data utility and privacy simultaneously.
