FedAPTA: Federated Multi-task Learning in Computing Power Networks with Adaptive Layer-wise Pruning and Task-aware AggregationFederated Learning (FL) has shown considerable promise in Computing Power Networks (CPNs) for privacy protection, efficient data utilization, and dynamic collaboration. Although it offers practical benefits, applying FL in CPNs continues to encounter a major obstacle, i.e., multi-task deployment. However, existing work mainly focuses on mitigating FL's computation and communication overhead of a single task while overlooking the computing resource wastage issue of heterogeneous devices across m…
