Exploring the Impact of Single-Character Attacks in Federated Learning Language Classification: Introducing the Novel Single-Character Strike

Federated learning (FL) is a privacy preserving machine learning approach which allows a machine learning model to be trained in a distributed fashion without ever sharing user data. Due to the large amount of valuable text and voice data stored on end-user devices, this approach works particularly well for natural language processing (NLP)...

FLVoogd: Robust And Privacy Preserving Federated Learning

In this work, we propose FLVoogd, an updated federated learning method in which servers and clients collaboratively eliminate Byzantine attacks while preserving privacy. In particular, servers use automatic Density-based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) combined with S2PC to cluster the benign majority without acquiring...
