In this paper, the authors explore the challenges of deploying federated learning models in edge networks, where data distribution is non-IID and vulnerable to adversarial examples. They highlight the limitations of directly applying adversarial training in federated learning, which can compromise accuracy. To address these issues, they propose FatCC, a method that combines local logit calibration and global feature contrast with vanilla federated adversarial training. This approach improves robust accuracy and clean accuracy in federated environments.

Federated learning is a way to train models on devices without sharing data. However, this can be tricky because devices have different kinds of data, and some bad actors might try to trick the system. The authors show that just using adversarial training (a technique to make models more robust) doesn’t work well in federated learning. Instead, they suggest FatCC, which helps make models both accurate and robust.
