Randomization matters How to defend against strong adversarial attacks

no code implementations ICML 2020 Rafael Pinot, Raphael Ettedgui, Geovani Rizk, Yann Chevaleyre, Jamal Atif

We demonstrate the non-existence of a Nash equilibrium in our game when the classifier and the adversary are both deterministic, hence giving a negative answer to the above question in the deterministic regime.

Boosting Robustness by Clipping Gradients in Distributed Learning

no code implementations23 May 2024 Youssef Allouah, Rachid Guerraoui, Nirupam Gupta, Ahmed Jellouli, Geovani Rizk, John Stephan

However, we show that it is possible to circumvent the lower bound, and improve the learning performance, when the workers' gradients at model initialization are assumed to be bounded.

Overcoming the Challenges of Batch Normalization in Federated Learning

no code implementations23 May 2024 Rachid Guerraoui, Rafael Pinot, Geovani Rizk, John Stephan, François Taiani

Batch normalization has proven to be a very beneficial mechanism to accelerate the training and improve the accuracy of deep neural networks in centralized environments.

Tackling Byzantine Clients in Federated Learning

no code implementations20 Feb 2024 Youssef Allouah, Sadegh Farhadkhani, Rachid Guerraoui, Nirupam Gupta, Rafael Pinot, Geovani Rizk, Sasha Voitovych

The natural approach to robustify FL against adversarial clients is to replace the simple averaging operation at the server in the standard $\mathsf{FedAvg}$ algorithm by a \emph{robust averaging rule}.

An $α$-No-Regret Algorithm For Graphical Bilinear Bandits

no code implementations1 Jun 2022 Geovani Rizk, Igor Colin, Albert Thomas, Rida Laraki, Yann Chevaleyre

We propose the first regret-based approach to the Graphical Bilinear Bandits problem, where $n$ agents in a graph play a stochastic bilinear bandit game with each of their neighbors.

Refined bounds for randomized experimental design

no code implementations22 Dec 2020 Geovani Rizk, Igor Colin, Albert Thomas, Moez Draief

Experimental design is an approach for selecting samples among a given set so as to obtain the best estimator for a given criterion.

Best Arm Identification in Graphical Bilinear Bandits

no code implementations14 Dec 2020 Geovani Rizk, Albert Thomas, Igor Colin, Rida Laraki, Yann Chevaleyre

We study the best arm identification problem in which the learner wants to find the graph allocation maximizing the sum of the bilinear rewards.

Randomization matters. How to defend against strong adversarial attacks

1 code implementation26 Feb 2020 Rafael Pinot, Raphael Ettedgui, Geovani Rizk, Yann Chevaleyre, Jamal Atif

We demonstrate the non-existence of a Nash equilibrium in our game when the classifier and the Adversary are both deterministic, hence giving a negative answer to the above question in the deterministic regime.
