In collaborative and distributed learning, Byzantine robustness reflects a major facet of optimization algorithms. Such distributed algorithms are often accompanied by transmitting a large number of parameters, so communication compression…

We consider the problem of distributed statistical machine learning in adversarial settings, where some unknown and time-varying subset of working machines may be compromised and behave arbitrarily to prevent an accurate model from being…

Decentralized stochastic gradient algorithms efficiently solve large-scale finite-sum optimization problems when all agents in the network are reliable. However, most of these algorithms are not resilient to adverse conditions, such as…

In large-scale distributed learning, security issues have become increasingly important. Particularly in a decentralized environment, some computing units may behave abnormally, or even exhibit Byzantine failures -- arbitrary and…

Distributed Learning often suffers from Byzantine failures, and there have been a number of works studying the problem of distributed stochastic optimization under Byzantine failures, where only a portion of workers, instead of all the…

Standard federated learning algorithms are vulnerable to adversarial nodes, a.k.a. Byzantine failures. To solve this issue, robust distributed learning algorithms have been developed, which typically replace parameter averaging by robust…

We study adversary-resilient stochastic distributed optimization, in which $m$ machines can independently compute stochastic gradients, and cooperate to jointly optimize over their local objective functions. However, an $\alpha$-fraction of…

In this paper, we consider the Byzantine-robust stochastic optimization problem defined over decentralized static and time-varying networks, where the agents collaboratively minimize the summation of expectations of stochastic local cost…

The problem of distributed optimization requires a group of agents to reach agreement on a parameter that minimizes the average of their local cost functions using information received from their neighbors. While there are a variety of…

How to achieve precise distributed optimization despite unknown attacks, especially the Byzantine attacks, is one of the critical challenges for multiagent systems. This paper addresses a distributed resilient optimization for linear…

This paper considers the problem of Byzantine fault-tolerance in multi-agent decentralized optimization. In this problem, each agent has a local cost function. The goal of a decentralized optimization algorithm is to allow the agents to…

While the last few decades have witnessed a huge body of work devoted to inference and learning in distributed and decentralized setups, much of this work assumes a non-adversarial setting in which individual nodes---apart from occasional…

Distributed model training is vulnerable to byzantine system failures and adversarial compute nodes, i.e., nodes that use malicious updates to corrupt the global model stored at a parameter server (PS). To guarantee some form of robustness,…

Distributed algorithms provide flexibility over centralized algorithms for resource allocation problems, e.g., cyber-physical systems. However, the distributed nature of these algorithms often makes the systems susceptible to…

Distributed optimization with open collaboration is a popular field since it provides an opportunity for small groups/companies/universities, and individuals to jointly solve huge-scale problems. However, standard optimization algorithms…
