Heterogeneous federated learning (HtFL) has emerged as a promising approach to address heterogeneity in local computational resources and data distribution. However, existing methods cause performance degradation of model personalization because personalized and generalized knowledge are either inte…
Multi-Hop Question Answering (MHQA) requires step-by-step reasoning across multiple pieces of information to answer complex questions. The cache-aided Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) can accelerate the process of external knowledge retrieval at each reasoning step for MHQA. However, existing me
Heterogeneous Federated Learning (HtFL) enables collaborative learning across clients with diverse model architectures and non-IID data distributions, which are prevalent in real-world edge computing applications. Existing HtFL approaches typically employ proxy datasets to facilitate knowledge shari…
While Distributed Machine Learning (DML) has been widely used to achieve decent performance, it is still challenging to take full advantage of data and devices distributed at multiple vantage points to adapt and learn, especially it is non-trivial to address dynamic and divergence challenges based o…
