contents To tackle the scarcity and privacy issues associated with domain-specific datasets, the integration of federated learning in conjunction with fine-tuning has emerged as a practical solution. However, our findings reveal that federated learning has the risk of skewing fine-tuning features and compromising the out-of-distribution robustness of the model. By introducing three robustness indicators and conducting experiments across diverse robust datasets, we elucidate these phenomena by scrutinizing the diversity, transferability, and deviation within the model feature space. To mitigate the negative impact of federated learning on model robustness, we introduce GNP, a \underline{G}eneral \underline{N}oisy \underline{P}rojection-based robust algorithm, ensuring no deterioration of accuracy on the target distribution. Specifically, the key strategy for enhancing model robustness entails the transfer of robustness from the pre-trained model to the fine-tuned model, coupled with adding a small amount of Gaussian noise to augment the representative capacity of the model. Comprehensive experimental results demonstrate that our approach markedly enhances the robustness across diverse scenarios, encompassing various parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods and confronting different levels of data heterogeneity.
