Trimmed-mean federated chain for robust aggregation against poisoning attacks in federated learning

Nov 2026 · Discover Computing · Vol 29 · 0 citations · 32 references

TL;DR

Findings indicate that the integration of stabilisation, directional filtering, and trimmed-mean aggregation improves empirical robustness under the evaluated adversarial settings, although the present study does not establish formal Byzantine fault-tolerance or convergence guarantees.
