ArXi:2605.08343v1 Announce Type: new Institutions may benefit from collaborative inference on time-series data. In settings where privacy is necessary, multi-party computation (MPC) is a straightforward approach to providing strong guarantees, yet it remains prohibitively expensive and scales poorly with modern transformer architectures. Vertical Federated Learning (VFL) offers efficiency but suffers from privacy leakage at the embedding level, and securing the entire VFL model head via MPC remains prohibitively slow and communication-heavy for larger models.
