Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly operate in private environments and accumulate valuable experience from task execution, tool use, feedback, and local knowledge. Yet such experience is distributed across organizations and cannot be directly shared because of privacy and proprietary constraints. Convention...

Simultaneous and sequential block updates are two basic optimization strategies used across machine learning, such as neural-network training, federated learning, and low-rank adaptation. Choosing between them is difficult because their relative advantage depends on both the objective geometry and the number of iterati...

FedSLM, a parameter-centric framework for federated fine-tuning with heterogeneous compressed clients, is proposed, which provides theoretical guarantees for adapter-level aggregation, subspace-alignment bounds for cross-group fusion, and a characterization of how the confidence loss mitigates weak-supervision noise.
