TL;DR
This work tackles clustering over heterogeneous, multi-view data distributed across federated clients by marrying heat-kernel enhanced distance measures with tensor-based representations. It introduces two personalized federated algorithms, FedHK-PARAFAC2 and FedHK-Tucker, that unify multi-view fuzzy clustering with PARAFAC2 and Tucker decompositions to capture shared and view-specific structure while preserving privacy. The framework deploys Federated Kernel Euclidean Distance (FKED) and tensorized TKED, along with FedH-KC heat-kernel coefficients, enabling private, efficient clustering with personalized updates and secure aggregation. Theoretical analysis provides convergence guarantees, privacy bounds, and complexity assessments, underscoring the practicality of tensorized, privacy-preserving, personalized federated clustering for high-dimensional, multi-view data. Potential applications span healthcare, IoT, and collaborative intelligence, where privacy and personalization are paramount.
Abstract
This paper proposes a personalized federated learning framework integrating heat-kernel enhanced tensorized multi-view fuzzy c-means clustering with tensor decomposition techniques. The approach combines heat-kernel coefficients adapted from quantum field theory with PARAFAC2 and Tucker decomposition to transform distance metrics and efficiently represent high-dimensional multi-view structures. Two main algorithms, FedHK-PARAFAC2 and FedHK-Tucker, are developed to extract shared and view-specific features while preserving inter-view relationships. The framework addresses data heterogeneity, privacy preservation, and communication efficiency challenges in federated learning environments. Theoretical analysis provides convergence guarantees, privacy bounds, and complexity analysis. The integration of heat-kernel methods with tensor decomposition in a federated setting offers a novel approach for effective multi-view data analysis while ensuring data privacy.
