Abstract

With the increasing scale of large model training, the traditional centralized training model faces serious challenges in terms of data privacy, communication efficiency and device heterogeneity. The data privacy problem stems from the inability to centrally store sensitive information (e.g., in the medical and financial fields), the communication efficiency is limited by the bandwidth pressure of massive parameter transmission, and the device heterogeneity leads to the difficulty of adapting the hardware resources to the model architecture. To cope with these problems, Federated Learning (FL) and Decentralized Learning (DL) have received widespread attention as two distributed training paradigms. This paper systematically compares the performance of the two in the dimensions of privacy protection, communication optimization, non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) data adaptation, and model heterogeneity support, and find that FL is more suitable for privacy-sensitive but device-homogeneous scenarios, whereas DL has more potential in distributed autonomy and heterogeneous environments. Future research needs to explore hybrid architecture design, non-convex optimization theory breakthroughs and cross-modal collaboration mechanisms to promote the application of large model training techniques in complex scenarios.
