Auto-FL-Research: Agentic Search for Federated Learning Algorithms

Abstract

arXiv:2607.01366v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated learning (FL) research often depends on many small but consequential algorithmic choices: optimizer variants, server aggregation rules, local training schedules, normalization, regularization, and model architecture. These choices are expensive to explore manually and difficult to compare fairly when candidate changes can also alter the FL training or evaluation path. In this work, we present Auto-FL-Research (AFR), a constrained coding-a
