The emerging concern about data privacy and security has motivated the proposal of federated learning, which allows nodes to only synchronize the locally-trained models instead their own original data. Conventional federated learning architecture, inherited from the parameter server design, relies on highly centralized topologies and the assumption of large nodes-to-server bandwidths. However, in real-world federated learning scenarios the network capacities between nodes are highly uniformly distributed and smaller than that in a datacenter. It is of great challenges for conventional federated learning approaches to efficiently utilize network capacities between nodes. In this paper, we propose a model segment level decentralized federated learning to tackle this problem. In particular, we propose a segmented gossip approach, which not only makes full utilization of node-to-node bandwidth, but also has good training convergence. The experimental results show that even the training time can be highly reduced as compared to centralized federated learning.

    cs.LG 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5 of 10

    DFL under local averaging is lazy random-walk diffusion on temporal networks; real structural and temporal heterogeneities slow mixing by one to two orders of magnitude relative to standard synthetic benchmarks.

    In a lattice-based simulation of decentralized federated learning, a reputation mechanism that rewards cooperators and penalizes defectors raises average accuracy from 70% to 82% and drives cooperation to near 100%.
