A Nesterov-Accelerated Byzantine-Robust Federated Learning

The paper proposes Byrd-NAFL, a Byzantine‑robust federated learning algorithm that incorporates Nesterov’s momentum and resilient aggregation rules. It achieves fast and safe convergence under non‑convex, smooth loss functions with relaxed gradient assumptions, and provides a finite‑time convergence guarantee. Experiments show that Byrd-NAFL outperforms existing methods in convergence speed, accuracy, and resilience to various malicious attacks.

Upholding Robustness in Federated Learning: Trends, Emerging Strategies, and Research Opportunities

The paper reviews the state of robustness in Federated Learning (FL), highlighting its vulnerability to performance degradation, data theft, and aggregation attacks. It presents a comprehensive framework that includes a threat-centric view of attack surfaces, a taxonomy of robust aggregation methods (distinguishing outcome‑centric from security‑centric approaches), and a layered taxonomy of defensive strategies. The authors also scrutinize current evaluation practices and outline key applications and open research challenges to steer future work.
