MUC-FL method cuts federated learning communication by sending only high-value blocks
Researchers propose Block-Wise Marginal Utility Contribution (MUC), a scheme for federated learning that decides which parts of a model update are worth transmitting. By estimating the marginal utility of each block, the framework aims to reduce the communication overhead that typically limits distributed training. The work is published as an arXiv preprint.
