New TQ loss method enhances federated learning robustness against attacks

A new research paper proposes a novel aggregation rule for federated learning that utilizes truncated-quadratic (TQ) loss to enhance robustness against malicious attacks and data heterogeneity. This TQ loss method aims to mitigate biases found in existing techniques like centered clipping and Huber aggregators. Experiments on datasets such as MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, and CIFAR-10 demonstrate that the TQ aggregator offers superior robustness and learning performance compared to current methods, even when only an estimate of Byzantine clients is available. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more reliable federated learning systems, particularly in scenarios with compromised data or diverse client datasets.

    Enhanced Byzantine-Robust Federated Learning Via Truncated-Quadratic Loss for Heterogeneous Data

    Federated learning distributes data among $n$ clients, making it vulnerable to malicious attacks and data heterogeneity, which together pose challenges for robust learning. To tackle this issue, centered clipping and Huber aggregators have been exploited for Byzantine robustness.…
