  • 解耦图像与文本编码器,分阶段本地微调提升一致性
  • 在少样本与全数据下均实现任务适配与泛化平衡
  • 适合数据异构、标注不均的联邦学习场景

基于预训练视觉语言模型(VLM)的联邦学习(FL)在下游任务中展现出广阔前景。尽管现有方法利用强表征提升局部数据不足下的任务适应性并保持泛化能力,但其依赖完全本地优化与简单参数聚合,在异构和全数据联邦设置下易引发客户端间优化不一致与客户端内过专化问题,难以兼顾全局任务适配与泛化。为此,我们提出FedDTL框架,通过在客户端与服务器间解耦图像与文本编码器,并结合服务端-客户端模态对齐的解耦训练,促进全局语义一致性更新,降低客户端间差异。为进一步缓解过专化,引入两阶段本地微调:先进行监督微调以快速可靠地启动,再通过强化学习阶段增强泛化能力。在多个基准测试(包括标签偏移与特征漂移)上的大量实验表明,无论在少样本还是全数据场景下,FedDTL均能在多种联邦数据分布中有效平衡全局任务适配与泛化性能。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Federated Learning (FL) with pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs) has emerged as a promising paradigm for various downstream tasks. By leveraging its strong representations, recent studies improve task adaptation under insufficient local data while preserving generalization. However, these methods emphasize fully local optimization with simple parameter aggregation,which can amplify inter-client optimization inconsistency and intra-client over-specialization under heterogeneous and full-data FL settings, making it difficult to balance global task adaptation and generalization. To address these challenges, we propose FedDTL, a novel federated VLM framework that decouples the image encoder and text encoder across clients and the server. Through decoupled encoder training with server-client modality alignment, FedDTL promotes coherent global semantic update and reduces inter-client optimization inconsistency, improving global task adaptation.To further mitigate intra-client over-specialization,we introduce a two-stage local fine-tuning, where a supervised fine-tuning stage enables rapid and reliable warm-start, followed by a reinforcement learning stage that enhances generalization. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmarks, including label skew and feature shift, demonstrate that FedDTL achieves an effective balance between global task adaptation and generalization under various FL data distributions in both few-shot and full-data regimes.
