Gradient Manipulation in Distributed Stochastic Gradient Descent with Strategic Agents: Truthful Incentives with Convergence Guarantees

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2603.27962v1 Announce Type: new Distributed learning has gained significant attention due to its advantages in scalability, privacy, and fault tolerance. In this paradigm, multiple agents collaboratively train a global model by exchanging parameters only with their neighbors. However, a key vulnerability of existing distributed learning approaches is their implicit assumption that all agents behave honestly during gradient updates.
