Need to Know: Contextual-Integrity-Grounded Query Rewriting for Privacy-Conscious LLM Delegation
arXiv:2606. 04067v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As LLMs become increasingly woven into everyday workflows, user queries sent to cloud hosted LLMs routinely mix task-essential content with task non-essential sensitive disclosures, yet type based PII redaction is context agnostic and may raise two issues: over disclosing untyped sensitive context and over removing answer bearing spans.

Privacy-Preserving Heterogeneous Multi-LLM Federated Inference for Cognitive Diagnosis
The paper introduces a federated inference framework that enables multiple commercial large language model (LLM) APIs—such as LLaMA‑3.3‑70B, GPT‑4o‑mini, and Claude‑3‑Haiku—to collaborate on cognitive diagnosis tasks without accessing raw student data or proprietary model internals. Each entity’s predictions are perturbed with Laplace noise to provide epsilon‑local differential privacy, and a residual‑based aggregation scheme mitigates model heterogeneity. Experiments on three educational benchmarks demonstrate strong privacy guarantees with minimal accuracy loss, confirming the framework’s practical usability and cross‑domain generalizability.

Collaborative Synthetic Data Generation for Knowledge Transfer in Federated Learning
arXiv:2607. 07565v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: One-shot federated learning (OSFL) addresses the communication overhead of federated learning by limiting training to a single round, but doing so without sacrificing model quality is non-trivial, particularly when client data distributions diverge.
