Researchers have explored trajectory heterogeneity in federated world model learning, focusing on clinical prediction tasks using the MIMIC-IV dataset. Their study reveals that client ownership and participation significantly limit the coverage of long temporal windows, with only a small percentage of available 32-step windows being locally complete during training. The research also found that finer severity partitions often lead to higher error rates for the FedAvg algorithm, while other federated algorithms like FedProx show minimal, horizon-dependent improvements. Furthermore, the study highlights that algorithm labels can mask distinct update behaviors and scale differences, indicating a need for more nuanced evaluation metrics for federated clinical world models.
