AutoFed: Automated Federated Traffic Prediction

This paper addresses the challenge of traffic prediction in a privacy-preserving manner using Federated Learning. It tackles the limitations of standard FL and PFL, particularly the need for manual hyperparameter tuning, which hinders real-world deployment. The proposed AutoFed framework leverages prompt learning to create a client-aligned adapter and a globally shared prompt matrix, enabling knowledge sharing while maintaining local specificity. The paper's significance lies in its potential to improve traffic prediction accuracy without compromising data privacy and its focus on practical deployment by eliminating manual tuning.
