Federated Learning is a distributed machine learning approach which enables model training without data sharing. In this paper, we propose a new federated learning algorithm, Federated Averaging with Client-level Momentum (FedCM), to tackle problems of partial participation and client heterogeneity in real-world federated learning applications. FedCM aggregates global gradient information in previous communication rounds and modifies client gradient descent with a momentum-like term, which can effectively correct the bias and improve the stability of local SGD. We provide theoretical analysis to highlight the benefits of FedCM. We also perform extensive empirical studies and demonstrate that FedCM achieves superior performance in various tasks and is robust to different levels of client numbers, participation rate and client heterogeneity.

  1. SpecGradFilter: A Spectral Gradient Filtering Framework for Taming Federated Heterogeneity

    cs.LG 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    Inter-client gradient divergence in federated learning concentrates in low-frequency components; suppressing them via spectral or spatial high-pass filtering reduces client drift and raises accuracy under non-IID data.

  2. FedFFT: Taming Client Drift in Federated SAM via Spectral Perturbation Filtering

    cs.LG 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    Low-frequency components of client-side SAM perturbations carry most inter-client disagreement; high-pass filtering them yields more consistent federated updates and higher accuracy under non-IID data.

  3. FedACT: Federated Adaptive Coordinate Trust Modulation for Robust Transformer Training under Data Heterogeneity

    cs.LG 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    Global-aware coordinate trust modulation after corrected AdamW updates improves federated Transformer and LLM training under data heterogeneity over strong adaptive baselines.

    FedVSSAM mitigates flatness incompatibility in SAM-based federated learning by consistently using a variance-suppressed adjusted direction for local perturbation, descent, and global updates, with non-convex convergen...

  5. Rethinking the Personalized Relaxed Initialization in the Federated Learning: Consistency and Generalization

    cs.LG 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    FedInit uses reverse personalized initialization in FL to reduce client drift effects, showing via excess risk that inconsistency impacts generalization error more than optimization error.
