The paper introduces a robust decentralized federated distillation approach that allows heterogeneous client models to collaborate using predictions on shared unlabeled public data. Each client evaluates received predictions across three modalities—class prediction, boundary decision, and prediction correlation—filters unreliable clients, assigns reliability-based weights, and constructs modality-specific teachers. The method validates distillation gradients against supervised gradients from private data, removes conflicting gradients, and proves convergence under Byzantine attacks, achieving improved accuracy on CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 under non‑IID data and malicious conditions.

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.
