Cross-Architecture Foundation-Model Distillation for Edge Flood Segmentation

Fabian Schmalstieg, Karsten Mueller, Wojciech Samek

Geospatial foundation models can provide strong flood-segmentation performance, but their size limits deployment on memory-constrained edge hardware. We distill a 300-million-param…

A Privacy Study of Sparse Collaborative Inference

Maximilian Andreas Hoefler, Karsten Mueller, Wojciech Samek

Collaborative inference (CI) splits a model between an edge device and a server, whereby the client computes an intermediate activation, transmits it, and the server completes the…

Collaborative Synthetic Data Generation for Knowledge Transfer in Federated Learning

Maximilian Andreas Hoefler, Karsten Mueller, Wojciech Samek

One-shot federated learning (OSFL) addresses the communication overhead of federated learning by limiting training to a single round, but doing so without sacrificing model quality…

Knowledge-Free Correlated Agreement for Incentivizing Federated Learning

Leon Witt, Togrul Abbasli, Kentaroh Toyoda +2

We introduce Knowledge-Free Correlated Agreement (KFCA) to reward client contributions in federated learning (FL) without relying on ground truth, a public test set, or distributio…

Democratizing Federated Learning with Blockchain and Multi-Task Peer Prediction

Leon Witt, Kentaroh Toyoda, Wojciech Samek +1

The synergy between Federated Learning and blockchain has been considered promising; however, the computationally intensive nature of contribution measurement conflicts with the st…
