arXiv:2601.09304v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) enables distributed learning across multiple clients without sharing raw data. When statistical heterogeneity across clients is severe, Clustered Federated Learning (CFL) can im-prove performance by grouping similar clients and training cluster-wise models. However, most CFL approaches rely on multiple communication rounds for cluster estimation and model updates, which limits their practicality under tight constraints on communication rounds. We propose Data Collaboration-based Clustered Federated Learning (DC-CFL), a
The increasing prevalence of distributed data and privacy concerns is driving demand for efficient federated learning solutions that can handle heterogeneous data more effectively.
Improving the efficiency of federated learning, especially for non-IID data, reduces computational and communication overhead, enabling wider practical deployment of AI in privacy-sensitive and resource-constrained environments.
This advancement allows for more practical federated learning implementations in scenarios where traditional multi-round approaches are too slow or communication-intensive, expanding the utility of distributed AI systems.
