Centralized vs Decentralized Federated Learning: A trade-off performance analysis

Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a promising paradigm for collaborative model training across distributed edge devices while preserving data privacy especially with the huge increase amount of data due to the adoption of technologies which contributes to the growing number of IoT devices. Storing this amount of data centrally is challenging due to issues like limited communication, privacy, and regulations. FL can be Centralized (CFL), Decentralized (DFL), and Semi-decentralized (SDFL). Choosing the right FL architecture depends on the application's needs. However, very few research studies have experimentally compared these three types of architectures to not only understand the respective strengths and limitations, but also trade-offs between different performance indicators. This paper overcome this lack of analysis, conducting experimental analyses using the Fedstellar simulator, MNIST dataset, and MLP classifier.

Federated Imputation under Heterogeneous Feature Spaces

Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative training across decentralized clients, but most methods assume aligned feature schemas, an assumption that rarely holds in tabular settings where clients observe only partially overlapping feature subsets. In these heterogeneous feature spaces, parameter-averaging methods (e.g., FedAvg) transfer little information across weakly overlapping or disjoint feature groups, limiting their effectiveness for federated imputation. To overcome this, we propose \textbf{FedHF-Impute}, a federated imputation framework that separates structural feature unavailability from conventional missingness and uses a shared global feature graph to propagate information across statistically related features through message passing. This enables indirect cross-client knowledge transfer, even when features are never jointly observed locally, while preserving standard federated communication. Under simulated partial schema overlap on the SECOM and AirQuality datasets, FedHF-Impute improves imputation accuracy (RMSE) over FL baselines by 26.9\%, and 8.4\% respectively, while achieving comparable performance on PhysioNET, with only a 0.3\% difference relative to the best baseline.
