Tao Fan, Weijing Chen, Yan Kang +5
Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as a transformative force in artificial intelligence, demonstrating exceptional proficiency across various tasks. However, their deploymen…
Ten Challenging Problems in Federated Foundation Models
Tao Fan, Hanlin Gu, Xuemei Cao +30
Federated Foundation Models (FedFMs) represent a distributed learning paradigm that fuses general competences of foundation models as well as privacy-preserving capabilities of fed…
FedMKT: Federated Mutual Knowledge Transfer for Large and Small Language Models
Tao Fan, Guoqiang Ma, Yan Kang +5
Recent research in federated large language models (LLMs) has primarily focused on enabling clients to fine-tune their locally deployed homogeneous LLMs collaboratively or on trans…
