New framework personalizes federated adaptation for time-series models

Researchers have developed a personalized federated sparse adaptation framework for time-series foundation models (TSFMs), aiming to improve energy forecasting by addressing the non-IID nature of private, distributed meter data. This new approach utilizes a heterogeneous temporal mixture-of-experts (MoE) adapter, where a sequence-level router selects a subset of experts tailored to specific context windows. Experiments across 50 buildings and three TSFM backbones demonstrated that this personalized strategy consistently outperforms global federated learning and local adaptation methods, highlighting the importance of client-aware and backbone-aware adaptation. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more accurate and privacy-preserving energy forecasting by improving how distributed, non-IID time-series data is utilized.

    Federated adaptation of time-series foundation models (TSFMs) is attractive for building energy forecasting because meter data are private, distributed, and highly non-IID. However, a single parameter-sharing strategy is unlikely to serve all pretrained TSFMs or building clients:…
