Study protects federated learning models from eavesdropping attacks.

problem Protecting client models in federated learning from eavesdropping adversaries.
method Theoretical analysis and numerical experiments examining various factors.
result Theoretical and experimental results show the effectiveness of protection methods.

We investigate the problem of reliable communication between two legitimate parties over deletion channels under an active eavesdropping (aka jamming) adversarial model. To this goal, we develop a theoretical framework based on probabilistic finite-state automata to define novel encoding and decoding schemes that ensur…

The paper addresses learner privacy in convex optimization with feedback.

problem Privacy risks from eavesdropping adversaries observing learner's queries.
method Optimally obfuscating learner's queries to make their learned optimal value hard to estimate.
result Query complexity overhead is additive in LL in the minimax formulation, multiplicative in LL in the Bayesian formulation.

Adversarial attacks have exposed a significant security vulnerability in state-of-the-art machine learning models. Among these models include deep reinforcement learning agents. The existing methods for attacking reinforcement learning agents assume the adversary either has access to the target agent's learned paramete…

New model improves volatility forecasting by reducing overestimation and underestimation.

problem SVR-GARCH model overestimates or underestimates volatility, hindering peak or trough behaviors.
method Proposes blending ARCH and augmented blending-ARCH models to improve volatility forecasting.
result Empirical results show improved volatility forecasting ability.

Adversarial training was recently shown to be competitive against supervised learning methods on computer vision tasks, however, studies have mainly been confined to generative tasks such as image synthesis. In this paper, we apply adversarial training techniques to the discriminative task of learning a steganographic …

Theorem ensures superior learning outcomes for authorized learners with quantum label encoding.

problem Ensuring data security for authorized learners in machine learning.
method Quantum label encoding and PAC learning framework.
result Authorized learners achieve superior learning outcomes while eavesdroppers do not.

DOSFL reduces federated learning communication by one round, preserving model performance.

problem High communication costs in federated learning with poorly distributed data.
method Clients distill their private data into synthetic data, sending only this to the server for training.
result Total communication cost up to 3 orders of magnitude less than FedAvg while maintaining comparable performance.
