תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.38925v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal federated learning (MFL) has emerged as a pivotal paradigm for leveraging distributed data to enhance model performance. However, existing methods predominantly rely on idealized assumptions of model homogeneity and balanced modality distributions, rendering them ill-suited for practical scenarios characterized by heterogeneous client architectures and severe modality imbalance. To address these challenges, we propose a \textbf{M}ultimodal \textbf{Fed}erated learning Prototype-guided Bilateral Alignment (MFedPBA) framework. MFedPBA facilitates robust knowledge synergy through a dual alignment mechanism: (i) at the feature level, it aligns heterogeneous feature spaces via a projection encoder optimized by contrastive learning and th
