Stable-Plastic Subspace Construction for Differentially Private Continual LoRA

Jin Liu, Ning Xi, Yinbin Miao +3

Continual learning (CL) adapts pretrained models to a sequence of tasks while retaining knowledge acquired from earlier tasks. When task data are sensitive, differential privacy (D…

When Privacy Hurts Mergeability: Geometry-Aware Model Merging under Differential Privacy

Jin Liu, Junkang Liu, Ning Xi +4

Model merging promises to construct a single multi-task model from independently fine-tuned task models without accessing the original task data. This makes it attractive when task…

FedNSAM:Consistency of Local and Global Flatness for Federated Learning

Junkang Liu, Fanhua Shang, Yuxuan Tian +2

In federated learning (FL), multi-step local updates and data heterogeneity usually lead to sharper global minima, which degrades the performance of the global model. Popular FL al…

Taming Preconditioner Drift: Unlocking the Potential of Second-Order Optimizers for Federated Learning on Non-IID Data

Junkang Liu, Fanhua Shang, Hongying Liu +3

Second-order optimizers can significantly accelerate large-scale training, yet their naive federated variants are often unstable or even diverge on non-IID data. We show that a key…
