HERO: A Heterogeneity-Aware Benchmark Library for Federated Continual Learning
Short summary
HERO is a heterogeneity-aware benchmark library for federated continual learning that decouples task splits, client data splits, and client task sequences to enable fair comparisons. It introduces controllable parameters for data skew and task-order mismatch, revealing that method behavior changes across easy and heterogeneous settings and that average accuracy can mask weak bottom-client performance. The library includes benchmark streams, method implementations, and reporting scripts for reproducible evaluation.
- •Decouples task split, client data split, and task sequence for fair FCL comparison
- •Reveals average accuracy hides weak bottom-client performance in heterogeneous settings
- •Includes graph-based Domain-IL case study on OGB-MolPCBA beyond image tasks
