However, FL is susceptible to Byzantine attacks from malicious participants. Although the problem has gained significant attention, existing defenses have several flaws:  the server irrationally chooses malicious clients for aggregation even after they have been detected in previous rounds; the defenses perform ineffectively against sybil attacks or in the heterogeneous data setting.\n\n    \n\n    To overcome these issues, we propose MAB-RFL, a new method for robust aggregation in FL. By modelling the client selection as an extended multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem, we propose an adaptive client selection strategy to choose honest clients that are more likely to contribute high-quality updates. We then propose two approaches to identify malicious updates from sybil and non-sybil attacks, based on which rewards for each client selection decision can be accurately evaluated to discourage malicious behaviors. MAB-RFL achieves a satisfying balance between exploration and exploitation on the potential benign clients. Extensive experimental results show that MAB-RFL outperforms existing defenses in three attack scenarios under different percentages of attackers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.24963\/ijcai.2022\/106","type":"proceedings-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,16]],"date-time":"2022-07-16T02:55:56Z","timestamp":1657940156000},"page":"753-760","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Shielding Federated Learning: Robust Aggregation with Adaptive Client Selection"],"prefix":"10.24963","author":[{"given":"Wei","family":"Wan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Cyber Science and Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology"},{"name":"National Engineering Research Center for Big Data Technology and System"},{"name":"Services Computing Technology and System Lab"},{"name":"Hubei Engineering Research Center on Big Data Security"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shengshan","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Cyber Science and Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology"},{"name":"National Engineering Research Center for Big Data Technology and System"},{"name":"Services Computing Technology and System Lab"},{"name":"Hubei Engineering Research Center on Big Data Security"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"jianrong","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Cyber Science and Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology"},{"name":"National Engineering Research Center for Big Data Technology and System"},{"name":"Services Computing Technology and System Lab"},{"name":"Hubei Engineering Research Center on Big Data Security"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leo Yu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Technology, Deakin University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hai","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology"},{"name":"National Engineering Research Center for Big Data Technology and System"},{"name":"Services Computing Technology and System Lab"},{"name":"Cluster and Grid Computing Lab"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuanyuan","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Cyber Science and Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"10584","event":{"name":"Thirty-First International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence {IJCAI-22}","theme":"Artificial Intelligence","location":"Vienna, Austria","acronym":"IJCAI-2022","number":"31","sponsor":["International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization (IJCAI)"],"start":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,23]]},"end":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,29]]}},"container-title":["Proceedings of the Thirty-First International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,18]],"date-time":"2022-07-18T11:07:43Z","timestamp":1658142463000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ijcai.org\/proceedings\/2022\/106"}},"subtitle":[],"proceedings-subject":"Artificial Intelligence Research Articles","short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,7]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.24963\/ijcai.2022\/106","relation":{},"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,7]]}}}
