Federated multi-task learning (FMTL) seeks to collaboratively train customized models for users with different tasks while preserving data privacy. Most existing approaches assume model congruity (i.e., the use of fully or partially homogeneous models) across users, which limits their applicability…
Machine unlearning (MU) aims to remove the influence of specific ''forget'' data from a trained model while preserving its knowledge of the remaining ''retain'' data. Existing MU methods based on label manipulation or model weight perturbations often achieve limited unlearning effectiveness. To addr…
Recently, various personalized federated learning (FL) algorithms have been proposed to tackle data heterogeneity. To mitigate device heterogeneity, a common approach is to use masking. In this paper, we first show that using random masking can lead to a bias in the obtained solution of the learnin…
