DisAgg: Distributed Aggregators for Efficient Secure Aggregation in Federated Learning

Haaris Mehmood, Giorgos Tatsis, Dimitrios Alexopoulos +4

Federated learning enables collaborative model training across distributed clients, yet vanilla FL exposes client updates to the central server. Secure-aggregation schemes protect…

DP-LAC: Lightweight Adaptive Clipping for Differentially Private Federated Fine-tuning of Language Models

Haaris Mehmood, Jie Xu, Karthikeyan Saravanan +2

Federated learning (FL) enables the collaborative training of large-scale language models (LLMs) across edge devices while keeping user data on-device. However, FL still exposes se…

Differentially Private Clustered Federated Learning with Privacy-Preserving Initialization and Normality-Driven Aggregation

Jie Xu, Haaris Mehmood, Rogier Van Dalen +2

Federated learning (FL) enables training of a global model while keeping raw data on end-devices. Despite this, FL has shown to leak private user information and thus in practice,…

ValSub: Subsampling Validation Data to Mitigate Forgetting during ASR Personalization

Haaris Mehmood, Karthikeyan Saravanan, Pablo Peso Parada +5

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is widely used within consumer devices such as mobile phones. Recently, personalization or on-device model fine-tuning has shown that adaptation…

DP-DyLoRA: Fine-Tuning Transformer-Based Models On-Device under Differentially Private Federated Learning using Dynamic Low-Rank Adaptation

Jie Xu, Karthikeyan Saravanan, Rogier van Dalen +3

Federated learning (FL) allows clients to collaboratively train a global model without sharing their local data with a server. However, clients' contributions to the server can sti…
