FedRAPP: Federated Test-Time Prompt Tuning for Vision-Language Models with Reliability-Aware Prompt Personalization

Federated prompt learning enables vision-language models like CLIP to collaboratively adapt lightweight soft prompts across distributed clients without sharing raw data. However, existing federated prompt learning methods are designed primarily for supervised settings with labeled client data and assumed relatively stable training distributions. At test time, source-free federated prompt tuning remains largely unexplored. Clients may receive unlabeled target samples with heterogeneous, often non-IID distributions that differ substantially across clients and from the source training…
