אינדיבידואליות רציונלית בלמידה פדרטיבית: תכנון-ארכיטקטורה יחד

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.14591v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Participation in federated learning (FL) comes at a cost. Clients trade off privacy, communication, and compute costs for potentially greater gains in model efficacy. This paper explores this tradeoff under the aegis of individual rationality (IR) versus autarky, the basic game-theoretic requirement that the federation provide utility no worse than local training. Using the above as the design target, we examine pathwise performance of FL, as a per-round bound on cumulative surplus, not just as an asymptotic equilibrium guarantee under different models of client data distribution heterogeneity. Along this path, clients can remain below their local-training baseline for hundreds of rounds. The natural remedy is to cap each client's per-round c
