Practical Framework for Privacy-Preserving and Byzantine-robust Federated Learning

arXiv — cs.LGMonday, December 22, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
  • A new framework called ABBR has been proposed to enhance Federated Learning (FL) by addressing vulnerabilities to Byzantine attacks and privacy inference attacks without compromising client data. This framework utilizes dimensionality reduction to improve the efficiency of complex filtering rules in privacy-preserving FL, marking a significant advancement in the field.
  • The introduction of ABBR is crucial as it bridges the gap between theoretical defenses and practical applications in FL, enabling more secure collaborative model training while maintaining data privacy.
  • This development reflects ongoing efforts in the AI community to enhance the robustness and privacy of FL systems, as similar frameworks like SAFLe and TrajSyn have emerged to tackle communication overhead and facilitate adversarial training, respectively, highlighting a trend towards more efficient and secure AI methodologies.

One-Shot Federated Ridge Regression: Exact Recovery via Sufficient Statistic Aggregation
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
A recent study introduces a novel approach to federated ridge regression, demonstrating that iterative communication between clients and a central server is unnecessary for achieving exact recovery of the centralized solution. By aggregating sufficient statistics from clients in a single transmission, the server can reconstruct the global solution through matrix inversion, significantly reducing communication overhead.
Attacks on fairness in Federated Learning
NegativeArtificial Intelligence
Recent research highlights a new type of attack on Federated Learning (FL) that compromises the fairness of trained models, revealing that controlling just one client can skew performance distributions across various attributes. This raises concerns about the integrity of models in sensitive applications where fairness is critical.
