arXiv:2607. 08651v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Decentralized federated learning (DFL) removes the central server by letting nodes exchange model updates through peer-to-peer gossip, but existing gossip-based methods often lack provenance finality and resilience to Byzantine or lazy participants.

Dealing simultaneously with confidentiality and Byzantine behaviors in decentralized learning is a challenging problem. Indeed, in decentralized learning, clients train a machine learning model while keeping their data locally and share their model parameters or gradients with a set of neighbors.

arXiv:2505. 09854v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As end-user device capability increases and demand for intelligent services at the Internet's edge rises, distributed learning has emerged as a key enabling technology for the intelligent edge.

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.
