History-Aware Multi-Objective Client Selection for Federated Learning under Statistical and System Heterogeneity

Federated learning reduces raw-data movement, but partial participation under statistical and system heterogeneity makes the selected client cohort a major source of optimisation bias and delay. This study proposes a history-aware multi-objective selector that combines opt-in data-quality metadata, exponentially smooth...

Federated and Differentially Private Learning for Root Cause Classification Across Heterogeneous Semiconductor Fabs

Federated learning (FL) can train a shared model without pooling client records, but it does not by itself provide differential privacy (DP). We compare centralized training, local-only training, federated averaging (FedAvg), and client-level DP-FedAvg on a fully released synthetic benchmark of free-text root-cause-ana...

ORDERS: An Empirical Study of Norm-Rank Aggregation for Personalized Federated Learning

Personalized federated learning combines shared representations with client-specific predictors, but the contribution of a server weighting rule can be obscured by local training and evaluation choices. We study ORDERS, a configuration that combines a shared backbone, a private residual adapter and classifier, geometri...
