Giskard is a scalable protocol for private and Byzantine‑robust decentralized aggregation in large‑scale learning. It organizes participants into a tree of committees of size O(log n) and computes a differentially private coordinate‑wise approximate median using secure multi‑party computation within each committee. Experiments with up to one million participants show that Giskard reduces per‑party communication by nearly three orders of magnitude compared to its closest competitors while maintaining robustness against up to n/4 Byzantine parties.

The paper introduces DISCERN, a two-tier protocol for certifying that updates to production models do not increase risk. It first uses unlabeled data to detect benign updates based on disagreement rates, then selectively labels only disagreements through an anytime-valid confidence sequence. The method achieves finite-sample validity with label-complexity bounds of order ρ²/ε², demonstrating significant label savings and strong empirical performance across 14,000+ audit streams.
