| 2026 | Oblivionis: A Lightweight Learning and Unlearning Framework for Federated Large Language ModelsabstractLarge Language Models (LLMs) increasingly leverage Federated Learning (FL) to utilize private, task-specific datasets for fine-tuning while preserving data privacy. However, while federated LLM frameworks effectively enable collaborative training without raw data sharing, they critically lack built-in mechanisms for regulatory compliance like GDPR’s right to be forgotten. Integrating private data heightens concerns over data quality and long-term governance, yet existing distributed training frameworks offer no principled way to selectively remove specific client contributions post-training. Due to distributed data silos, stringent privacy constraints, and the intricacies of interdependent model aggregation, federated LLM unlearning is significantly more complex than centralized LLM unlearning. To address this gap, we introduce Oblivionis, a lightweight learning and unlearning framework that enables clients to selectively remove specific private data during federated LLM training, enhancing trustworthiness and regulatory compliance. By unifying FL and unlearning as a dual optimization objective, we incorporate 6 FL and 5 unlearning algorithms for comprehensive evaluation and comparative analysis, establishing a robust pipeline for federated LLM unlearning. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Oblivionis outperforms local training, achieving a robust balance between forgetting efficacy and model utility, with cross-algorithm comparisons providing clear directions for future LLM development.

| 2025 | FedRAM: Federated Reweighting and Aggregation for Multi-Task LearningabstractFederated Multi-Task Learning (FL-MTL) enables clients with heterogeneous data to collaboratively train models capable of handling multiple downstream tasks. However, FL-MTL faces key challenges, including statistical heterogeneity, task interference, and the need to balance local learning with global knowledge sharing. Traditional methods like FedAvg struggle in such settings due to the lack of explicit mechanisms to address these issues.
In this paper, we propose FedRAM, a three-step framework that progressively updates two scalar hyperparameters: the task importance weight and the client aggregation coefficient. FedRAM introduces a reference-proxy-agent strategy, where the proxy model serves as an intermediate between the local reference model and the global agent model. This design reduces the need for repeated local training while preserving local performance.
Extensive experiments on six real-world FL-MTL benchmarks show that FedRAM improves performance by at least 3$\%$ over the most baseline on both in-domain and out-of-domain tasks, while reducing computational cost by 15$\times$. These results make FedRAM a robust and practical solution for large-scale FL-MTL applications.
