BIPPO: Budget-Aware Independent PPO for Energy-Efficient Federated Learning Services

arXiv — cs.LG•Wednesday, November 12, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
BIPPO represents a significant advancement in federated learning (FL), particularly within the context of large-scale IoT systems where resource constraints are prevalent. Traditional FL methods often overlook infrastructure efficiency, leading to challenges in client selection and overall performance. BIPPO, or Budget-aware Independent Proximal Policy Optimization, fills this gap by utilizing a multi-agent reinforcement learning approach that not only enhances accuracy in image classification tasks but also operates within a minimal budget. Evaluated on two distinct tasks, BIPPO demonstrated superior performance compared to non-reinforcement learning mechanisms and traditional methods like PPO and IPPO. This improvement is crucial as it ensures that FL can be effectively implemented in environments where resources are limited, thus promoting sustainability and efficiency in machine learning applications.

Thinker: Training LLMs in Hierarchical Thinking for Deep Search via Multi-Turn Interaction
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The article presents Thinker, a hierarchical thinking model designed to enhance the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) through multi-turn interactions. Unlike previous methods that relied on end-to-end reinforcement learning without supervision, Thinker allows for a more structured reasoning process by breaking down complex problems into manageable sub-problems. Each sub-problem is represented in both natural language and logical functions, improving the coherence and rigor of the reasoning process.

Potent but Stealthy: Rethink Profile Pollution against Sequential Recommendation via Bi-level Constrained Reinforcement Paradigm
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The paper titled 'Potent but Stealthy: Rethink Profile Pollution against Sequential Recommendation via Bi-level Constrained Reinforcement Paradigm' addresses vulnerabilities in sequential recommenders, particularly to adversarial attacks. It highlights the Profile Pollution Attack (PPA), which subtly contaminates user interactions to induce mispredictions. The authors propose a new method called CREAT, which combines bi-level optimization with reinforcement learning to enhance the stealthiness and effectiveness of such attacks, overcoming limitations of previous methods.

Divide, Conquer and Unite: Hierarchical Style-Recalibrated Prototype Alignment for Federated Medical Image Segmentation
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
The article discusses the challenges of federated learning in medical image segmentation, particularly the issue of feature heterogeneity from various scanners and protocols. It highlights two main limitations of current methods: incomplete contextual representation learning and layerwise style bias accumulation. To address these issues, the authors propose a new method called FedBCS, which aims to bridge feature representation gaps through domain-invariant contextual prototypes alignment.

Behaviour Policy Optimization: Provably Lower Variance Return Estimates for Off-Policy Reinforcement Learning
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The paper titled 'Behaviour Policy Optimization: Provably Lower Variance Return Estimates for Off-Policy Reinforcement Learning' addresses the challenges of high-variance return estimates in reinforcement learning algorithms. It highlights that well-designed behavior policies can collect off-policy data, leading to lower variance return estimates. This finding suggests that on-policy data collection is not optimal for variance, and the authors extend this insight to online reinforcement learning, where policy evaluation and improvement occur simultaneously.

Adaptive Intrusion Detection for Evolving RPL IoT Attacks Using Incremental Learning
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The paper discusses the vulnerabilities of the Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL), which is widely used in resource-constrained IoT systems. It highlights various routing-layer attacks, including hello flood, decreased rank, and version number manipulation. Traditional countermeasures struggle against new or zero-day attacks without complete retraining. The authors propose incremental learning as an adaptive strategy for intrusion detection in RPL networks, evaluating five model families to enhance detection performance against evolving threats.
