Title: Diffusion-Guided Semantic Consistency for Multimodal Heterogeneity

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.19337v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated learning (FL) is severely challenged by non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) client data, a problem that degrades global model performance, especially in multimodal perception settings. Conventional methods often fail to address the underlying semantic discrepancies between clients, leading to suboptimal performance for multimedia systems requiring robust perception. To overcome this, we introduce SemanticFL, a novel fr
