Sparsification Under Siege: Dual-Level Defense Against Poisoning in Communication-Efficient Federated Learning
IJCAI 2026
Gradient sparsification, while mitigating communication bottlenecks in Federated Learning (FL), fundamentally alters the geometric landscape of model updates. We reveal that the resultant high-dimensional orthogonality renders traditional Euclidean-based robust aggregation metrics mathematically amb
