The proposed Personalized Federated Continual Learning (PFCL) framework addresses the challenges of sharing and personalizing knowledge in multi-granularity representation. It combines knowledge fusion for server aggregation with model improvement for each client, aiming to overcome Spatial-Temporal Catastrophic Forgetting (STCF). The novel concept of multi-granularity prompts is introduced, consisting of coarse-grained global prompts and fine-grained local prompts. The former focuses on transferring shared global knowledge without spatial forgetting, while the latter emphasizes specific learning of personalized local knowledge to overcome temporal forgetting. A selective prompt fusion mechanism is designed for aggregating knowledge from different clients. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in addressing STCF and improving personalized performance.

PFCL is a new way to share and personalize knowledge. It’s like trying to learn something new, but everyone has their own unique perspective. The problem is that when people try to learn together, they often forget what they learned before or don’t remember the big picture. PFCL tries to solve this by combining two things: sharing global knowledge with others and personalizing learning for each individual. It uses a special type of “prompt” that helps people remember and build on what they’ve learned before, while also learning new things.
