In the online facility assignment on a line ${\rm OFAL}(S,c)$ with a set $S$ of $k$ servers and a capacity $c:S\to\mathbb{N}$, each server $s\in S$ with a capacity $c(s)$ is placed on a line, and a request arrives on a line one-by-one. The…
Federated learning (FL) algorithms usually sample a fraction of clients in each round (partial participation) when the number of participants is large and the server's communication bandwidth is limited. Recent works on the convergence…
In federated learning (FL), clients may have diverse objectives, and merging all clients' knowledge into one global model will cause negative transfer to local performance. Thus, clustered FL is proposed to group similar clients into…
