PRoVeFL: Private Robust and Verifiable Aggregation in Federated Learning

Federated Learning (FL) enables multiple clients to collaboratively train machine learning models while retaining data locality, thereby enhancing user privacy. However, traditional FL frameworks rely on a centralized aggregation server and assume honest-but-curious clients, making them susceptible to both server-side inference and client-side poisoning attacks.

Quantization in Federated Learning: Methods, Challenges and Future Directions

arXiv:2606. 26822v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) has become a foundational paradigm for privacy-preserving distributed intelligence, yet its scalability remains fundamentally constrained by communication bottlenecks, device heterogeneity, and the challenges of training under statistically non-IID data.

Communication-Efficient Secure Aggregation in Decentralized Learning

arXiv:2405. 07708v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Decentralized learning (DL) enables participants to collaboratively train models without a central server, yet it faces significant scalability challenges that demand sparsification to reduce the prohibitive communication costs of peer-to-peer exchange.

Privacy-Preserving Decentralized Federated Learning via Explainable Adaptive Differential Privacy

arXiv:2509. 10691v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Decentralized federated learning enables collaborative model training without a central server, but shared model updates can still leak sensitive information through inversion, reconstruction, and membership inference attacks.

Practical Anonymous Two-Party Gradient Boosting Decision Tree

arXiv:2605. 26903v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Structured data is well handled by gradient-boosted decision trees (GBDT), which are usually trained on vertically partitioned features across mutually distrustful parties.
