Reducing Defense Vulnerabilities in Federated Learning: A Neuron-Centric Approach by Eda Sena Erdol, Hakan Erdol, Beste Ustubioglu, Guzin Ulutas, Iraklis Symeonidis

“…This paper proposes a new defense algorithm called Neuron-Centric Federated Learning Defense (NC-FLD), a novel approach that dynamically identifies and analyzes the most significant neurons across model layers rather than examining entire gradient spaces. Unlike existing methods that analyze all parameters equally, NC-FLD creates feature vectors from specifically selected neurons that show the highest training impact, then applies dimensionality reduction to enhance their discriminative features. …”
