New Benchmark Exposes Vulnerabilities in Decentralized Federated Learning Security.
A new benchmark, BackDFL, reveals that existing decentralized federated learning (DFL) methods and defenses are highly susceptible to backdoor attacks, even with low malicious participation. The study highlights critical failure modes and overestimation of DFL robustness due to simplified threat models in prior research.
In-Cell Learning Updates LLMs Without Bit Changes.
In-Cell Learning, specifically through the CellFill paradigm, allows deployed 4-bit quantized language models to acquire new knowledge without altering their original stored weights. This is achieved by writing new information into the quantization interval, ensuring the original codes and scales are perfectly reproducible, and enabling updates as separate, reversible "fill" files.
