HybridFLow: SDN-Orchestrated Client Partitioning for Hybrid Federated Learning
arXiv
This is a systems engineering paper presenting a novel framework design with experimental validation on simulated network topologies, not a clinical trial or evidence of human health outcomes; it raises technical questions about federated learning optimization rather than answering a settled question with rigorous comparative evidence.
