Decision Boundary-aware Generation for Long-tailed Learning

Long-tailed data bias decision boundaries toward head classes and degrade tail class accuracy. Diffusion-based generative augmentation address this problem by generating additional data, while head-to-tail transfer further mitigate the generator bias inherit from long-tailed dataset. However, we show that while head-to-tail transfer helps balance the decision space of the classifier, it also induces latent non-local feature mixing that entangles inter-class features, causing decision boundary overlap and tail class distribution shift. To address this, we first identify the problem of boundary ambiguity and then propose Decision Boundary-aware Generation (DBG) framework, which promotes near-boundary representation learning by generating informative near-boundary samples. Overall, DBG rebalances the long-tailed dataset while yielding more separable decision space for long-tailed learning. Across standard long-tailed benchmarks, DBG consistently improves tail class and overall accuracy with less inter-class overlap. The code of DBG is available at https://github.com/keepdigitalabc-svg/DBG.

Fine-Tuning Impairs the Balancedness of Foundation Models in Long-tailed Personalized Federated Learning

Personalized federated learning (PFL) with foundation models has emerged as a promising paradigm enabling clients to adapt to heterogeneous data distributions. However, real-world scenarios often face the co-occurrence of non-IID data and long-tailed class distributions, presenting unique challenges that remain underexplored in PFL. In this paper, we investigate this long-tailed personalized federated learning and observe that current methods suffer from two limitations: (i) fine-tuning degrades performance below zero-shot baselines due to the erosion of inherent class balance in foundation models; (ii) conventional personalization techniques further transfer this bias to local models through parameter or feature-level fusion. To address these challenges, we propose Federated Learning via Gradient Purification and Residual Learning (FedPuReL), which preserves balanced knowledge in the global model while enabling unbiased personalization. Specifically, we purify local gradients using zero-shot predictions to maintain a class-balanced global model, and model personalization as residual correction atop the frozen global model. Extensive experiments demonstrate that FedPuReL consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods, achieving superior performance on both global and personalized models across diverse long-tailed scenarios. The code is available at https://github.com/shihaohou/FedPuReL.

Federated Learning on Heterogeneous and Long-Tailed Data via Classifier Re-Training with Federated Features

Federated learning (FL) provides a privacy-preserving solution for distributed machine learning tasks. One challenging problem that severely damages the performance of FL models is the co-occurrence of data heterogeneity and long-tail distribution, which frequently appears in real FL applications. In this paper, we reveal an intriguing fact that the biased classifier is the primary factor leading to the poor performance of the global model. Motivated by the above finding, we propose a novel and privacy-preserving FL method for heterogeneous and long-tailed data via Classifier Re-training with Federated Features (CReFF). The classifier re-trained on federated features can produce comparable performance as the one re-trained on real data in a privacy-preserving manner without information leakage of local data or class distribution. Experiments on several benchmark datasets show that the proposed CReFF is an effective solution to obtain a promising FL model under heterogeneous and long-tailed data. Comparative results with the state-of-the-art FL methods also validate the superiority of CReFF. Our code is available at https://github.com/shangxinyi/CReFF-FL.
