The field of federated learning is moving towards addressing the challenges of data heterogeneity, Byzantine attacks, and communication efficiency. Researchers are proposing novel algorithms and frameworks to overcome these challenges, such as quantized analog beamforming, Byzantine-robust federated learning, and distributionally robust federated learning. These innovative approaches aim to improve the performance and resilience of federated learning models in resource-constrained wireless networks and heterogeneous environments. Notable papers in this area include: Quantized Analog Beamforming Enabled Multi-task Federated Learning Over-the-air, which proposes a novel beamforming scheme to enable simultaneous multi-task federated learning.
