New analysis explores federated learning for Mamba2 state space models

Researchers have developed new convergence analysis for federated learning algorithms applied to selective state space models (SSMs), such as Mamba2. Existing federated learning methods are largely architecture-agnostic and do not account for the unique characteristics of modern SSMs. The study derives architecture-aware bounds for SSMs and analyzes the performance of FedAvg and FedProx in this context. Experiments were conducted on Mamba2 language modeling across various text domains to validate these bounds and interpret the behavior of federated learning algorithms with SSMs. AI

IMPACT Provides theoretical underpinnings for applying federated learning to advanced sequence models, potentially improving privacy-preserving model training.

    Distributed Learning with Selective State Space Models: Architecture-Aware Convergence Analysis

    arXiv:2610.02659v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern state space models (SSMs), such as Mamba2, provide a compelling alternative to transformers by combining linear-time sequence modeling with recurrent state-space dynamics. However, the behavior of SSMs in distributed learni…
