Robust Variational Bayes by Min-Max Median Aggregation

Jiawei Yan, Ju Liu, Weidong Liu +1

We propose a robust and scalable variational Bayes (VB) framework designed to effectively handle contamination and outliers in dataset. Our approach partitions the data into di…

Majority Vote for Distributed Differentially Private Sign Selection

Weidong Liu, Jiyuan Tu, Xiaojun Mao +1

Privacy-preserving data analysis has become more prevalent in recent years. In this study, we propose a distributed group differentially private Majority Vote mechanism, for the si…

Variance Reduced Median-of-Means Estimator for Byzantine-Robust Distributed Inference

Jiyuan Tu, Weidong Liu, Xiaojun Mao +1

This paper develops an efficient distributed inference algorithm, which is robust against a moderate fraction of Byzantine nodes, namely arbitrary and possibly adversarial machines…
