Federated learning, as a privacy-preserving distributed machine learning paradigm, faces significant threats from backdoor attacks. Compared to centralized attacks, distributed backdoor attacks are more harmful but require more poisoned samples to compensate for the loss of trigger strength due to decomposition. Fixed...
A constrained Bayesian Optimization framework for the efficient configuration of HFL deployments that captures user-defined trade-offs among energy consumption, execution time, and predictive performance, while explicit constraints ensure compliance with deployment-specific resource and accuracy requirements.

One-shot federated graph learning generally aims to train Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) across clients with disconnected subgraphs in a single communication round. Existing methods predominantly design advanced optimization strategies under the premise that local GNN training is indispensable. However, empirical observa...
CALM is proposed, which replaces every hard decision with a smooth trust gate at three levels: per class, teachers are weighted by agreement with the peer consensus; per sample, distillation is scaled by the teachers'divergence from that target; and a label gate scales it by how strongly the target supports the sample'...

Privacy-sensitive surveillance systems could benefit from large vision-language models (VLMs), but such models typically require centralized access to raw video. In federated learning settings, this challenge is amplified by non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) client data, which can make direct multic...

FedSubMuon is proposed, a communication-efficient federated Muon fine-tuning method that optimizes compact coefficient matrices within shared structured subspaces that keeps Muon on a single matrix-valued trainable object, while reducing the client upload to compact coefficient matrices.

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.
