ChatbotID: Identifying Chatbots with Granger Causality Test

NeurIPS 2025poster

With the increasing sophistication of Large Language Models (LLMs), it is crucial to develop reliable methods to accurately identify whether an interlocutor in real-time dialogue is human or chatbot. However, existing detection methods are primarily designed for analyzing full documents, not the uni…

Enhancing Privacy in Multimodal Federated Learning with Information Theory

NeurIPS 2025poster

Multimodal federated learning (MMFL) has gained increasing popularity due to its ability to leverage the correlation between various modalities, meanwhile preserving data privacy for different clients. However, recent studies show that correlation between modalities increase the vulnerability of fed…

Feature Distillation is the Better Choice for Model-Heterogeneous Federated Learning

NeurIPS 2025poster

Model-Heterogeneous Federated Learning (Hetero-FL) has attracted growing attention for its ability to aggregate knowledge from heterogeneous models while keeping private data locally. To better aggregate knowledge from clients, ensemble distillation, as a widely used and effective technique, is ofte…

Resource-Constrained Federated Continual Learning: What Does Matter?

NeurIPS 2025poster

Federated Continual Learning (FCL) aims to enable sequential privacy-preserving model training on streams of incoming data that vary in edge devices by preserving previous knowledge while adapting to new data. Current FCL literature focuses on restricted data privacy and access to previously seen da…
