• Abstract: In federated healthcare systems, Federated Class-Incremental Learning (FCIL) has emerged as a key paradigm, enabling continuous adaptive model learning among distributed clients while safeguarding data privacy. However, in practical applications, data across agent nodes within the distributed framework often exhibits non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) characteristics, rendering traditional continual learning methods inapplicable. To address these challenges, this paper covers more comprehensive incremental task scenarios and proposes a dynamic memory allocation strategy for exemplar storage based on the data replay mechanism. This strategy fully taps into the inherent potential of data heterogeneity, while taking into account the performance fairness of all participating clients, thereby establishing a balanced and adaptive solution to mitigate catastrophic forgetting. Unlike the fixed allocation of client exemplar memory, the proposed scheme emphasizes the rational allocation of limited storage resources among clients to improve model performance. Furthermore, extensive experiments are conducted on three medical image datasets, and the results demonstrate significant performance improvements compared to existing baseline models.

Our method relies on ideas from representation learning theory to find a global common representation using all clients' data and learn a user-specific set of parameters leading to a personalized solution for each client.

• Dynamic Federated Learning [57.14673504239551]
  Federated learning has emerged as an umbrella term for centralized coordination strategies in multi-agent environments. We consider a federated learning model where at every iteration, a random subset of available agents perform local updates based on their data. Under a non-stationary random walk model on the true minimizer for the aggregate optimization problem, we establish that the performance of the architecture is determined by three factors, namely, the data variability at each agent, the model variability across all agents, and a tracking term that is inversely proportional to the learning rate of the algorithm.
