New FedStop framework optimizes local training epochs in federated learning

Researchers have developed a new framework called FedStop for federated learning, which optimizes the number of local training epochs on each client. Instead of using a fixed number of epochs, FedStop treats local training as an optimal stopping problem, where clients train as long as the expected reduction in loss outweighs the added client drift. This approach aims to improve model accuracy, particularly for clients with lower performance, and has shown competitive or superior results compared to existing methods like FedAvg, ALT, and FLASH on CIFAR-10.
