This paper proposes a novel approach to distributed learning that leverages the principles of Federated Byzantine Fault Tolerance (FBT) to achieve robustness and scalability against malicious actors. Traditional federated learning systems are vulnerable to attacks where adversaries can manipulate the global model by in...

Federated learning offers a promising architecture for training clinical machine learning models across distributed Ugandan health facilities without centralising sensitive patient data. However, the practical viability of this approach depends on its robustness to two conditions that characterise real-world health inf...
Federated learning (FL) has emerged as a promising approach to training machine learning models on decentralized data sources without directly exchanging data. However, the inherent vulnerability of current FL protocols to Byzantine attacks – where malicious nodes inject false information to corrupt the global model –...

Federated learning offers a promising architecture for digital library consortia in low-resource settings, where centralising user interaction data is often infeasible due to privacy concerns and bandwidth constraints. We introduce a client-weighted aggregation rule that corrects for covariate shift through importance...

This paper presents a novel approach to integrating differential privacy into federated learning (FL) systems. The core challenge in FL lies in protecting user data while still achieving high model accuracy. This work introduces a distributed differential privacy (DDP) mechanism specifically designed to address this ch...

Students in MIT’s Concourse program delve deeply into the human condition, debate challenging questions, and learn to develop judgment about issues that can’t be quantified.
Training AI agents with reinforcement learning can be challenging because their tools, context, and decision-making are managed by complex frameworks. Agent Lightning connects existing agents to RL training, making it easier to improve them without rebuilding them. The post Agent Lightning v1.0: A 3,500-Line Lightweight Agentic RL Framework for Training Agents with Real Harnesses appeared first on Microsoft Research.
