A computing system and method can be used to implement a version of federated learning (FL) that incorporates adaptivity (e.g., leverages an adaptive learning rate). In particular, the present disclosure provides a general optimization framework in which (1) clients perform multiple epochs of training using a client optimizer to minimize loss on their local data and (2) a server system updates its global model by applying a gradient-based server optimizer to the average of the clients' model updates. This framework can seamlessly incorporate adaptivity by using adaptive optimizers as client and/or server optimizers. Building upon this general framework, the present disclosure also provides example specific adaptive optimization techniques for FL which use per-coordinate methods as server optimizers. By focusing on adaptive server optimization, the use of adaptive learning rates is enabled without increase in client storage or communication costs and compatibility with cross-device FL can be ensured.
