Edge AI in Highly Volatile Environments: Is Fairness Worth the Accuracy Trade-off?

A comprehensive empirical study has been conducted on the privacy vulnerabilities of Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) in the context of Federated Learning (FL), particularly focusing on gradient leakage attacks. This research highlights the potential for sensitive training data to be reconstructed from shared gradients, a concern that has been extensively studied in conventional Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) but remains largely unexplored in SNNs.

A new framework for trustless federated learning at edge-scale has been proposed, addressing key compositional gaps in decentralized AI systems. This architecture aims to enhance accountability in model updates, prevent incentive gaming, and improve scalability through cryptographic receipts and parallel operations.

A recent study has established the first benchmark for applying differential privacy in federated learning for automatic speech recognition, addressing challenges associated with training large transformer models. The research highlights the issues of gradient heterogeneity and proposes techniques such as per-layer clipping and layer-wise gradient normalization to improve convergence rates.

A new approach utilizing multi-head attention and the Inception v3 model has been developed for the automatic detection of cardiomegaly through X-ray images. This method integrates deep learning tools and attention mechanisms, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosing cardiovascular diseases by leveraging a robust data collection phase and preprocessing techniques to improve image quality.
