FedVSSAM: Mitigating Flatness Incompatibility in Sharpness-Aware Federated Learning

Bingnan Xiao, Yuan Gao, Bingcong Li +3

Sharpness-aware minimization (SAM) is an effective method for improving the generalization of federated learning (FL) by steering local training toward flat minima. Under data hete…

Non-Orthogonal Multiple-Access for Coherent-State Optical Quantum Communications Under Lossy Photon Channels

Zhichao Dong, Xiaolin Zhou, Yongkang Chen +3

Coherent states have been increasingly considered in optical quantum communications (OQCs). With the inherent non-orthogonality of coherent states, non-orthogonal multiple-access (…
