Abstract. Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a promising framework for learning from distributed data while maintaining privacy. The development of efficient FL algorithms encounters various challenges, including heterogeneous data and systems, limited communication capacities, and constrained local computational resources. In this talk, we introduce a novel approach leveraging the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) to address these challenges. Our inexact and self-adaptive FedADMM algorithm mitigates the necessity for empirical hyperparameter settings. The convergence of the proposed algorithm using the inexactness criterion is analyzed, and numerical experiments demonstrate the enhanced performance of our algorithm.
