A Practical Influence Approximation for Privacy-Preserving Data Filtering in Federated Learning

Boi Faltings, Panayiotis Danassis, Ljubomir Rokvic

Federated Learning by nature is susceptible to low-quality, corrupted, or even malicious data that can severely degrade the quality of the learned model. Traditional techniques for data valuation cannot be applied as the data is never revealed. We present ...

Robust Collaborative Learning with Linear Gradient Overhead

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

Collaborative learning algorithms, such as distributed SGD (or D-SGD), are prone to faulty machines that may deviate from their prescribed algorithm because of software or hardware bugs, poisoned data or malicious behaviors. While many solutions have been ...

Institutions and Incentives in Knowledge Production and Diffusion: From Science to Innovation

Charles Chadi Ayoubi

This thesis presents four essays providing novel empirical and theoretical insights on the incentives and institutional structures that favor knowledge production and diffusion. The first two studies analyze these processes in the realm of scientific resea ...

Motivating Innovation: The Effect of Loss Aversion on the Willingness to Persist

Kenneth Younge

We investigate the willingness of individuals to persist at exploration in the face of failure. Prior research suggests that the organization's "tolerance for failure" may motivate greater exploration by the individual. Little is known, however, about how ...

Reproducibility warning: The curious case of polyethylene glycol 6000 and spheroid cell culture

Francesco Stellacci, Quy Ong Khac, Zhi Luo, Ahmet Bekdemir

Reproducibility of results is essential for a well-designed and conducted experiment. Several reasons may originate failure in reproducing data, such as selective reporting, low statistical power, or poor analysis. In this study, we used PEG6000 samples fr ...
