Federated learning (FL) is a promising paradigm in machine learning that enables collaborative model training across decentralized devices without sharing raw data.
The heterogeneous nature of local datasets in FL can cause model performance discrepancies, convergence challenges, and privacy concerns.
A novel FL framework called ClusterGuardFL is introduced, which uses dissimilarity scores, k-means clustering, and reconciliation confidence scores to assign weights to client updates.
Experimental results show that ClusterGuardFL improves model performance in diverse datasets.
