No More Guessing: a Verifiable Gradient Inversion Attack in Federated Learning
Francesco Diana, Chuan Xu, André Nusser +1
Gradient inversion attacks threaten client privacy in federated learning by reconstructing training samples from clients' shared gradients. Gradients aggregate contributions from m…
Deadline-Aware Online Scheduling for LLM Fine-Tuning with Spot Market Predictions
Linggao Kong, Yuedong Xu, Lei Jiao +1
As foundation models grow in size, fine-tuning them becomes increasingly expensive. While GPU spot instances offer a low-cost alternative to on-demand resources, their volatile pri…
Reconciling Communication Compression and Byzantine-Robustness in Distributed Learning
Diksha Gupta, Antonio Honsell, Chuan Xu +2
Distributed learning enables scalable model training over decentralized data, but remains hindered by Byzantine faults and high communication costs. While both challenges have been…
Cutting Through Privacy: A Hyperplane-Based Data Reconstruction Attack in Federated Learning
Francesco Diana, André Nusser, Chuan Xu +1
Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative training of machine learning models across distributed clients without sharing raw data, ostensibly preserving data privacy. Neverthel…
Attribute Inference Attacks for Federated Regression Tasks
Francesco Diana, Othmane Marfoq, Chuan Xu +3
Federated Learning (FL) enables multiple clients, such as mobile phones and IoT devices, to collaboratively train a global machine learning model while keeping their data localized…
