Fixing by Mixing: A Recipe for Optimal Byzantine ML under Heterogeneity

Rachid Guerraoui, Nirupam Gupta, John Stephan, Sadegh Farhadkhani, Youssef Allouah, Rafaël Benjamin Pinot

Byzantine machine learning (ML) aims to ensure the resilience of distributed learning algorithms to misbehaving (or Byzantine) machines. Although this problem received significant attention, prior works often assume the data held by the machines to be homo ...

Impact of Redundancy on Resilience in Distributed Optimization and Learning

Nirupam Gupta, Shuo Liu

This paper considers the problem of resilient distributed optimization and stochastic learning in a server-based architecture. The system comprises a server and multiple agents, where each agent has its own local cost function. The agents collaborate with ...

Reliable Microsecond-Scale Distributed Computing

Athanasios Xygkis

The landscape of computing is changing, thanks to the advent of modern networking equipment that allows machines to exchange information in as little as one microsecond. Such advancement has enabled microsecond-scale distributed computing, where entire dis ...

Byzantine Machine Learning Made Easy By Resilient Averaging of Momentums

Rachid Guerraoui, Nirupam Gupta, John Stephan, Sadegh Farhadkhani, Rafaël Benjamin Pinot

Byzantine resilience emerged as a prominent topic within the distributed machine learning community. Essentially, the goal is to enhance distributed optimization algorithms, such as distributed SGD, in a way that guarantees convergence despite the presence ...

An Equivalence Between Data Poisoning and Byzantine Gradient Attacks

Rachid Guerraoui, Sadegh Farhadkhani, Oscar Jean Olivier Villemaud, Le Nguyen Hoang

To study the resilience of distributed learning, the “Byzantine" literature considers a strong threat model where workers can report arbitrary gradients to the parameter server. Whereas this model helped obtain several fundamental results, it has sometimes ...

Design standards for icons: The independent role of aesthetics, visual complexity and concreteness in icon design and icon understanding

Nicolas Henchoz, Romain Simon Collaud, Andreas Sonderegger

Icons play an important role in modern interfaces and therefore recent empirical research has focused on enhancing icon processing — that is, icon perception and icon function understanding. However, in existing sets, icons vary simultaneously across diffe ...

GARFIELD: System Support for Byzantine Machine Learning (Regular Paper)

Rachid Guerraoui, Sébastien Louis Alexandre Rouault, Arsany Hany Abdelmessih Guirguis

We present GARFIELD, a library to transparently make machine learning (ML) applications, initially built with popular (but fragile) frameworks, e.g., TensorFlow and PyTorch, Byzantine–resilient. GARFIELD relies on a novel object–oriented design, reducing t ...

Collaborative Learning in the Jungle (Decentralized, Byzantine, Heterogeneous, Asynchronous and Nonconvex Learning)

Rachid Guerraoui, Sadegh Farhadkhani, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Le Nguyen Hoang, Sébastien Louis Alexandre Rouault, Arsany Hany Abdelmessih Guirguis

We study Byzantine collaborative learning, where n nodes seek to collectively learn from each others' local data. The data distribution may vary from one node to another. No node is trusted, and f < n nodes can behave arbitrarily. We prove that collaborati ...

Dynamic Byzantine Reliable Broadcast

Rachid Guerraoui, Jovan Komatovic, Dragos-Adrian Seredinschi, Andrei Tonkikh

Reliable broadcast is a communication primitive guaranteeing, intuitively, that all processes in a distributed system deliver the same set of messages. The reason why this primitive is appealing is twofold: (i) we can implement it deterministically in a co ...

Private and Secure Distributed Learning

Georgios Damaskinos

The ever-growing number of edge devices (e.g., smartphones) and the exploding volume of sensitive data they produce, call for distributed machine learning techniques that are privacy-preserving. Given the increasing computing capabilities of modern edge de ...
