  • 通过因果-动态框架分离因果特征与伪相关特征,实现更可靠的本地原型聚合。
  • 在三个基准上平均准确率领先,且结果最稳定,显著优于现有方法。
  • 适合金融、医疗等数据分布持续变化的实时联邦学习场景。

本文针对联邦学习中动态特征漂移这一挑战展开研究,即客户端间及随时间演化的数据分布差异——这在金融科技等真实场景中普遍存在。现有方法多假设漂移为静态,难以应对非平稳环境。为此,我们提出 extbf{FedCausal-Dyn},一种基于因果-动态范式的新型联邦学习框架。其核心创新是 extit{因果域特征解耦},通过专用投影头与对抗训练,将不变于域的因果特征与虚假的、域特定的变异分离。该机制支持 extit{可靠且动态的原型聚合},在全局聚合前依据估计可靠性加权本地类别原型。我们进一步引入 extit{因果特征引导的协同正则化},统一原型对比对齐与域不变性为统一目标。在三个联邦域泛化基准上的大量实验表明,FedCausal-Dyn 始终达到最先进的性能,平均准确率最高且结果最稳定。消融实验确认各组件均具关键贡献。本工作为动态特征漂移下的联邦学习提供了稳健而原理清晰的解决方案。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This paper addresses the challenging problem of dynamic feature drift in federated learning, where data distributions evolve across clients and over time -- a common scenario in real-world applications like financial technology. Existing approaches often assume static drift, limiting their effectiveness in non-stationary environments. To overcome this, we propose \textbf{FedCausal-Dyn}, a novel federated learning framework built on a causal-dynamic paradigm. Its key innovation is \textit{causal-domain feature separation}, which disentangles domain-invariant causal features from spurious, domain-specific variations via specialized projection heads and adversarial training. This enables \textit{reliable and dynamic prototype aggregation}, weighting local class prototypes by estimated reliability before global aggregation. We further introduce \textit{causal-feature guided collaborative regularization}, unifying prototype contrastive alignment and domain invariance into a cohesive objective. Extensive experiments on three federated domain generalization benchmarks demonstrate that FedCausal-Dyn consistently achieves state-of-the-art performance, with the highest average accuracy and the most stable results. Ablation studies confirm each component's critical contribution. Our work provides a robust and principled solution for federated learning under dynamic feature drift.
