Dimensionality Reduction for Robust Federated Learning: A Theoretical Analysis and Convergence Guarantee
Shiyuan Zuo, Jiashuo Li, Rongfei Fan +2
Federated Learning (FL) enables multiple clients to collaboratively train models without sharing raw data, but it is highly vulnerable to Byzantine attacks. Existing robust approac…
H+: An Efficient Similarity-Aware Aggregation for Byzantine Resilient Federated Learning
Shiyuan Zuo, Rongfei Fan, Cheng Zhan +3
Federated Learning (FL) enables decentralized model training without sharing raw data. However, it remains vulnerable to Byzantine attacks, which can compromise the aggregation of…
On Theoretical Limits of Learning with Label Differential Privacy
Puning Zhao, Chuan Ma, Li Shen +2
Label differential privacy (DP) is designed for learning problems involving private labels and public features. While various methods have been proposed for learning under label DP…
Differential Private Stochastic Optimization with Heavy-tailed Data: Towards Optimal Rates
Puning Zhao, Jiafei Wu, Zhe Liu +3
We study convex optimization problems under differential privacy (DP). With heavy-tailed gradients, existing works achieve suboptimal rates. The main obstacle is that existing grad…
Sequential Federated Learning in Hierarchical Architecture on Non-IID Datasets
Xingrun Yan, Shiyuan Zuo, Rongfei Fan +4
In a real federated learning (FL) system, communication overhead for passing model parameters between the clients and the parameter server (PS) is often a bottleneck. Hierarchical…
Contextual Bandits for Unbounded Context Distributions
Puning Zhao, Rongfei Fan, Shaowei Wang +4
Nonparametric contextual bandit is an important model of sequential decision making problems. Under -Tsybakov margin condition, existing research has established a regret bound…
Efficient Federated Learning against Byzantine Attacks and Data Heterogeneity via Aggregating Normalized Gradients
Shiyuan Zuo, Xingrun Yan, Rongfei Fan +4
Federated Learning (FL) enables multiple clients to collaboratively train models without sharing raw data, but is vulnerable to Byzantine attacks and data heterogeneity, which can…
Enhancing Learning with Label Differential Privacy by Vector Approximation
Puning Zhao, Rongfei Fan, Huiwen Wu +3
Label differential privacy (DP) is a framework that protects the privacy of labels in training datasets, while the feature vectors are public. Existing approaches protect the priva…
