Rational Agreement in the Presence of Crash Faults

Vincent Gramoli

Blockchain systems need to solve consensus despite the presence of rational users and failures. The notion of (k, t)-robustness is key to derive impossibility results with k rational players and t faulty players. However, these t faulty players are always ...

Learning from History for Byzantine Robust Optimization

Martin Jaggi, Sai Praneeth Reddy Karimireddy, Lie He

Byzantine robustness has received significant attention recently given its importance for distributed and federated learning. In spite of this, we identify severe flaws in existing algorithms even when the data across the participants is identically distri ...

Distributed Momentum for Byzantine-resilient Stochastic Gradient Descent

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Sébastien Louis Alexandre Rouault

Byzantine-resilient Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) aims at shielding model training from Byzantine faults, be they ill-labeled training datapoints, exploited software/hardware vulnerabilities, or malicious worker nodes in a distributed setting. Two rece ...

Byzantine Fault-Tolerant Distributed Machine Learning with Norm-Based Comparative Gradient Elimination

Nirupam Gupta, Shuo Liu

This paper considers the Byzantine fault-tolerance problem in distributed stochastic gradient descent (D-SGD) method - a popular algorithm for distributed multi-agent machine learning. In this problem, each agent samples data points independently from a ce ...

Asynchronous distributed coordination and consensus with threshold logical clocks

Bryan Alexander Ford

Consensus protocols for asynchronous networks are usually complex and inefficient, leading practical systems to rely on synchronous protocols. The invention proposes an approach to simplify asynchronous consensus by building it atop a novel threshold logic ...

AKSEL: Fast Byzantine SGD

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Alexandre David Olivier Maurer, Sébastien Louis Alexandre Rouault

Modern machine learning architectures distinguish servers and workers. Typically, a d-dimensional model is hosted by a server and trained by n workers, using a distributed stochastic gradient descent (SGD) optimization scheme. At each SGD step, the goal is ...

The Performance of Byzantine Fault Tolerant Blockchains

Vincent Gramoli

Blockchains have captured the attention of many, resulting in an abundance of new systems available for use. However, selecting an appropriate blockchain for an application is challenging due to the lack of comparative information discussing core metrics s ...

Genuinely Distributed Byzantine Machine Learning

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

Machine Learning (ML) solutions are nowadays distributed, according to the so-called server/worker architecture. One server holds the model parameters while several workers train the model. Clearly, such architecture is prone to various types of component ...

Mneme: A Mobile Distributed Ledger

Boi Faltings, Sujit Prakash Gujar

Advances in mobile computing have paved the way for new types of distributed applications that can be executed solely by mobile devices on device-to-device (D2D) ecosystems (e.g., crowdsensing). More sophisticated applications, like cryptocurrencies, need ...

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 ...
