We give an introduction to federated Byzantine agreement systems (FBAS) with many examples ranging from small "academic" cases to the current Stellar network. We then analyze the main concepts from a mathematical and an algorithmic point of view. Bas...
Federated Learning enables training of a general model through edge devices without sending raw data to the cloud. Hence, this approach is attractive for digital health applications, where data is sourced through edge devices and users care about pri...
In this study, we delve into Federated Reinforcement Learning (FedRL) in the context of value-based agents operating across diverse Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). Existing FedRL methods typically aggregate agents' learning by averaging the value f...
Compression is an efficient way to relieve the tremendous communication overhead of federated learning (FL) systems. However, for the existing works, the information loss under compression will lead to unexpected model/gradient deviation for the FL t...
Decentralized learning and optimization is a central problem in control that encompasses several existing and emerging applications, such as federated learning. While there exists a vast literature on this topic and most methods centered around the c...
Inserting a backdoor into the joint model in federated learning (FL) is a recent threat raising concerns. Existing studies mostly focus on developing effective countermeasures against this threat, assuming that backdoored local models, if any, someho...
Federated learning (FL) enables multiple participants to train a global machine learning model without sharing their private training data. Peer-to-peer (P2P) FL advances existing centralized FL paradigms by eliminating the server that aggregates loc...

Federated Learning (FL) has been introduced as a way to keep data local to clients while training a shared machine learning model, as clients train on their local data and send trained models to a central aggregator. It is expected that FL will have...
Scientific research in the United States could receive a large increase in federal funding--up to 100 billion dollars over five years -- if proposed legislation entitled the Endless Frontiers Act becomes law. This bipartisan and bicameral bill, intro...
We examine how the federal government can enhance its AI emergency preparedness: the ability to detect and prepare for time-sensitive national security threats relating to AI. Emergency preparedness can improve the government's ability to monitor and...
Federated Learning (FL) presents a promising avenue for collaborative model training among medical centers, facilitating knowledge exchange without compromising data privacy. However, vanilla FL is prone to server failures and rarely achieves optimal...
Federated Learning (FL) is a learning mechanism that falls under the distributed training umbrella, which collaboratively trains a shared global model without disclosing the raw data from different clients. This paper presents an extensive survey on...
Federated learning is the process of developing machine learning models over datasets distributed across data centers such as hospitals, clinical research labs, and mobile devices while preventing data leakage. This survey examines previous research...
Cavs reporter Chris Fedor went on the Fan 9.23 highlighting just how non-existent the market for Collin Sexton is and how the Cavs are leveraging it. Link: [https://twitter.com/JorshP/status/15444480...
President Donald Trump signed an executive order today moving marijuana out of the federal government’s most restrictive drug category, formally acknowledging that cannabis has medical value and a l...
