Advances and open problems in federated learning

Peter Kairouz, +58 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the state-of-the-art in the field of federated learning from the perspective of distributed optimization, cryptography, security, differential privacy, fairness, compressed sensing, systems, information theory, and statistics.

Extremal Mechanisms for Local Differential Privacy

TL;DR: It is shown that for all information theoretic utility functions studied in this paper, maximizing utility is equivalent to solving a linear program, the outcome of which is the optimal staircase mechanism, which is universally optimal in the high and low privacy regimes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Composition Theorem for Differential Privacy

TL;DR: In this article, an upper bound on the overall privacy level of differentially private mechanisms is established, as a function of the number of queries and the privacy levels maintained by each privatization mechanism.

Can You Really Backdoor Federated Learning

TL;DR: This paper conducts a comprehensive study of backdoor attacks and defenses for the EMNIST dataset, a real-life, user-partitioned, and non-iid dataset, and shows that norm clipping and "weak'' differential privacy mitigate the attacks without hurting the overall performance.
