Summary
- What is new: The introduction of Decentralized Sporadic Federated Learning ($\\texttt{DSpodFL}$), a methodology that handles heterogeneity in decentralized federated learning more effectively.
- Why this is important: Existing decentralized federated learning methods do not adequately address the challenges presented by client heterogeneity, including variations in data, computational capabilities, and participation.
- What the research proposes: $\\texttt{DSpodFL}$ generalizes the concept of sporadic participation and updates in federated learning, accommodating various forms of client heterogeneity and improving upon existing methods like DGD, RG, and DFedAvg.
- Results: $\\texttt{DSpodFL}$ demonstrates faster training speeds and increased robustness to variations in system parameters, surpassing current state-of-the-art methods in efficiency and performance.
