The paper compares distributed adversarial training algorithms—both centralized and decentralized—within multi‑agent learning environments. It introduces a theoretical framework to analyze how efficiently these algorithms escape local minima, a property linked to model flatness and robustness. The study finds that with small perturbation bounds and large batch sizes, decentralized methods (consensus and diffusion) escape local minima faster than centralized ones, but this advantage may diminish as attack strength increases.

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.
