Federated Aggregation Frequency Effects on Lightweight Neural Network Convergence and Accuracy

This report synthesises findings from 13 peer-reviewed papers addressing the following research question: How does reducing federated aggregation frequency impact the convergence rate and final accuracy of lightweight neural networks for anomaly detection on edge devices. Federated learning (FL) is a machine learning setting where many clients (e.g., mobile devices or whole organizations) collaboratively train a model under the orchestration of a central server (e.g., service provider), while keeping the training data decentralized. FL embodies. 10 claims were extracted from source literature; 9 were independently verified against retrieved documents. An automated multi-reviewer quality assessment produced a score of 7.8/10. This report is a machine-generated literature synthesis and does not constitute original research.
