• Abstract: Multimodal federated learning (FL) aims to enrich model training in FL settings where clients are collecting measurements across multiple modalities. However, key challenges to multimodal FL remain unaddressed, particularly in heterogeneous network settings where: (i) the set of modalities collected by each client will be diverse, and (ii) communication limitations prevent clients from uploading all their locally trained modality models to the server. In this paper, we propose multimodal Federated learning with joint Modality and Client selection (mmFedMC), a new FL methodology that can tackle the above-mentioned challenges in multimodal settings. The joint selection algorithm incorporates two main components: (a) A modality selection methodology for each client, which weighs (i) the impact of the modality, gauged by Shapley value analysis, (ii) the modality model size as a gauge of communication overhead, against (iii) the frequency of modality model updates, denoted recency, to enhance generalizability. (b) A client selection strategy for the server based on the local loss of modality model at each client. Experiments on five real-world datasets demonstrate the ability of mmFedMC to achieve comparable accuracy to several baselines while reducing the communication overhead by over 20x. A demo video of our methodology is available at https://liangqiy.com/mmfedmc/.

  We propose an Adaptive prototype-based Multimodal Federated Learning (AproMFL) framework for mixed modalities and heterogeneous tasks. Our AproMFL transfers knowledge through adaptively-constructed prototypes without a prior public dataset. Clients adaptively select prototype construction methods in line with tasks; server converts client prototypes into unified multimodal prototypes and aggregates them to form global prototypes.

  We train models organized in a multi-level structure, called Multi-level Additive Models (MAM)'', for better knowledge-sharing across heterogeneous clients. In federated MAM (FeMAM), each client is assigned to at most one model per level and its personalized prediction sums up the outputs of models assigned to it across all levels. Experiments show that FeMAM surpasses existing clustered FL and personalized FL methods in various non-IID settings.

• Multi-Model Federated Learning [8.629912408966145]
  We extend federated learning to the setting where multiple unrelated models are trained simultaneously. Every client is able to train any one of M models at a time and the server maintains a model for each of the M models which is typically a suitably averaged version of the model computed by the clients. We propose multiple policies for assigning learning tasks to clients over time. In the first policy, we extend the widely studied FedAvg to multi-model learning by allotting models to clients in an i.i.d. In addition, we propose two new policies for client selection in a multi-model setting which make decisions based on current
