Training of large scale models on distributed clusters is a critical component of the machine learning pipeline. However, this training can easily be made to fail if some workers behave in an adversarial (Byzantine) fashion whereby they…
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…
Byzantine resilience emerged as a prominent topic within the distributed machine learning community. Essentially, the goal is to enhance distributed optimization algorithms, such as distributed SGD, in a way that guarantees convergence…
Federated learning (FL) has gained attention as a distributed learning paradigm for its data privacy benefits and accelerated convergence through parallel computation. Traditional FL relies on a server-client (SC) architecture, where a…
We study the problem of Byzantine fault tolerance in a distributed optimization setting, where there is a group of $N$ agents communicating with a trusted centralized coordinator. Among these agents, there is a subset of $f$ agents that may…
Most existing Byzantine-robust federated learning (FL) methods suffer from slow and unstable convergence. Moreover, when handling a substantial proportion of colluded malicious clients, achieving robustness typically entails compromising…
Distributed learning has many computational benefits but is vulnerable to attacks from a subset of devices transmitting incorrect information. This paper investigates Byzantine-resilient algorithms in a decentralized setting, where devices…
In this paper, we study a linear bandit optimization problem in a federated setting where a large collection of distributed agents collaboratively learn a common linear bandit model. Standard federated learning algorithms applied to this…
Federated Learning (FL) paradigms enable large numbers of clients to collaboratively train Machine Learning models on private data. However, due to their multi-party nature, traditional FL schemes are left vulnerable to Byzantine attacks…
Asynchronous distributed machine learning solutions have proven very effective so far, but always assuming perfectly functioning workers. In practice, some of the workers can however exhibit Byzantine behavior, caused by hardware failures,…
Distributed model training needs to be adapted to challenges such as the straggler effect and Byzantine attacks. When coordinating the training process with multiple computing nodes, ensuring timely and reliable gradient aggregation amidst…
This paper studies Byzantine-robust stochastic optimization over a decentralized network, where every agent periodically communicates with its neighbors to exchange local models, and then updates its own local model by stochastic gradient…
Recently, decentralized learning has emerged as a popular peer-to-peer signal and information processing paradigm that enables model training across geographically distributed agents in a scalable manner, without the presence of any central…
This paper studies distributed online learning under Byzantine attacks. The performance of an online learning algorithm is often characterized by (adversarial) regret, which evaluates the quality of one-step-ahead decision-making when an…
Machine Learning (ML) solutions are nowadays distributed, according to the so-called server/worker architecture. One server holds the model parameters while several workers train the model. Clearly, such architecture is prone to various…
Federated learning (FL) becomes vulnerable to Byzantine attacks where some of participators tend to damage the utility or discourage the convergence of the learned model via sending their malicious model updates. Previous works propose to…
Byzantine attacks present a critical challenge to Federated Learning (FL), where malicious participants can disrupt the training process, degrade model accuracy, and compromise system reliability. Traditional FL frameworks typically rely on…
We study a recently proposed large-scale distributed learning paradigm, namely Federated Learning, where the worker machines are end users' own devices. Statistical and computational challenges arise in Federated Learning particularly in…
In this paper, we propose BR-MTRL, a Byzantine-resilient multi-task representation learning framework that handles faulty or malicious agents. Our approach leverages representation learning through a shared neural network model, where all…
Gossip Learning (GL) is a decentralized learning paradigm where users iteratively exchange and aggregate models with a small set of neighboring peers. Recent GL approaches rely on dynamic communication graphs built and maintained using…
