Talk on Training and Inference Time Attack and Defense

October 10, 2023

Talk, ISSRE 2023 WDMD, Florence, Italy

Adversarial behaviors can be launched during different phrases of distributed learning, e.g., Federated Learning, Multi-discriminator GAN. This talk gives a summary on the types of attacks during training and inference phrase, and it introduced four works from us related to it.

Talk on data-free attacks and defenses

August 09, 2023

Talk, Invited talk, Kaiserslautern, Germany

Talks on how to design effective data-free attacks and corresponding defenses based on synthetic data, in terms of goals, methods, and possible flexible parts for specifc scenarios.

Talk on Data-free Untargeted Attack in Federated Learning

June 29, 2023

Talk, DSN 2023, Porto, Portugal

Existing untargeted attacks in FL require the adversary owns either a large amount of data or eavesdropping all benign updates. This talk introduces our data-free approach to launch attack with two variants, benefiting from effectiveness and stealthiness.

Talk on Mavericks in Federated Learning

March 02, 2022

Talk, AAAI 2022 workshop on FL, Virtual Conference

This talk discusses one important but overlooked type of heterogeneous client, Maverick, which exclusively owns specific data and we see its broad applications such as rare disease databases. And its contribution is also underestimated by existing measurements.

Talk on Incentives and Attacks in Federated Learning

December 01, 2020

Talk, TPS 2020, Virtual Conference

Vision track on summary of incentives and attacks in Federated Learning. Here we explore how to evaluate the contribution of a client with the presence of both honest and malicious clients.
