SeFoRA: Sketch-Aggregated Federated Low-Rank Adaptation with Heterogeneous Client Ranks

Yue Xia, Tayyebeh Jahani-Nezhad, Mayank Bakshi +1

We consider federated parameter efficient fine-tuning of large neural networks with low-rank adaptation (LoRA,~Hu et al.\ 2022). Combining LoRA with federated PEFT introduces chall…

Sequential Adversarial Hypothesis Testing

Eeshan Modak, Mayank Bakshi, Bikash Kumar Dey +1

We study the adversarial binary hypothesis testing problem in the sequential setting. Associated with each hypothesis is a closed, convex set of distributions. Given the hypothesis…

Using Preformed Resistive Random Access Memory to Create a Strong Physically Unclonable Function

Jack Garrard, John F. Hardy, Carlo daCunha +1

Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) are a promising solution for identity verification and asymmetric encryption. In this paper, a new Resistive Random Access Memory (ReRAM) PUF…

Hypothesis Testing for Adversarial Channels: Chernoff-Stein Exponents

Eeshan Modak, Neha Sangwan, Mayank Bakshi +2

We study the Chernoff-Stein exponent of the following binary hypothesis testing problem: Associated with each hypothesis is a set of channels. A transmitter, without knowledge of t…

Byzantine-Resilient Zero-Order Optimization for Communication-Efficient Heterogeneous Federated Learning

Maximilian Egger, Mayank Bakshi, Rawad Bitar

We introduce CyBeR-0, a Byzantine-resilient federated zero-order optimization method that is robust under Byzantine attacks and provides significant savings in uplink and downlink…
