When Sample Selection Bias Precipitates Model Collapse

ICML 2026poster

The proliferation of recursive synthetic data training promises to alleviate data scarcity but introduces the existential risk of model collapse, wherein recursive training on synthetic data erodes distributional tails and homogenizes outputs. Current literature identifies data selection as a pivota…

SecEmb: Sparsity-Aware Secure Federated Learning of On-Device Recommender System with Large Embedding

ICML 2025poster

Federated recommender system (FedRec) has emerged as a solution to protect user data through collaborative training techniques. A typical FedRec involves transmitting the full model and entire weight updates between edge devices and the server, causing significant burdens to edge devices with limite…

RFLPA: A Robust Federated Learning Framework against Poisoning Attacks with Secure Aggregation

NeurIPS 2024poster

Federated learning (FL) allows multiple devices to train a model collaboratively without sharing their data. Despite its benefits, FL is vulnerable to privacy leakage and poisoning attacks. To address the privacy concern, secure aggregation (SecAgg) is often used to obtain the aggregation of gradien…

Split-and-Denoise: Protect large language model inference with local differential privacy

ICML 2024poster

Large Language Models (LLMs) excel in natural language understanding by capturing hidden semantics in vector space. This process enriches the value of text embeddings for various downstream tasks, thereby fostering the Embedding-as-a-Service (EaaS) business model. However, the risk of privacy leakag…
