Entropy-Guided Tensor Compression for Multimodal Federated Learning on Edge Devices

arXiv:2607.06651v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated learning (FL) over mobile and edge devices increasingly involves multimodal models in which clients differ in both sensing capability and computational capacity. Existing update compression schemes typically apply uniform policies across layers and devices, without accounting for modality-specific differences in spectral structure and compressibility. We propose MESH-FL, an entropy-guided matrix product state (MPS) update-compression fram...
