MAS: Towards Resource-Efficient Federated Multiple-Task Learning

ICCV, 2023
Weiming Zhuang, Yonggang Wen*, Shuai Zhang*, Lingjuan Lyu

Federated learning (FL) is an emerging distributed machine learning method that empowers in-situ model training on decentralized edge devices. However, multiple simultaneous FL tasks could overload resource-constrained devices. In this work, we propose the first FL system to…

TARGET: Federated Class-Continual Learning via Exemplar-Free Distillation

ICCV, 2023
Jie Zhang, Chen Chen, Weiming Zhuang, Lingjuan Lyu

This paper focuses on an under-explored yet important problem: Federated Class-Continual Learning (FCCL), where new classes are dynamically added in federated learning. Existing FCCL works suffer from various limitations, such as requiring additional datasets or storing the …
