FedSocket: Recipient-Executable Knowledge Exchange for Heterogeneous Multimodal Federated Learning
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.37582v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated knowledge must remain usable by recipients with different modalities, private architectures, and tasks. We present FedSocket, which makes recipient execution a design requirement of the exchanged model. A shared Q combines recipient-computable inputs, task-owned outputs, and ownership-aware aggregation, connecting heterogeneous private models through a common prediction interface. Private models teach local Q copies; the returned Q supports local learning and Joint inference, with only Q parameters and counts exchanged. Across six dat

Why it matters
This model development creates a new option for users and a new testing obligation for developers. A fixed evaluation set comparing quality, cost and failure behavior is more useful than launch claims.
