Preprint.
No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Federated learning (FL) is intrinsically heterogeneous: honest clients may have different data-generating models. On top of that, adversarial clients can make heterogeneity even more pronounced by sharing arbitrary updates. Existing analyses typically control the interaction between statistical heterogeneity and adversarial behavior through gradient-dissimilarity conditions. However, the underlying bound is imposed a priori and may yield conservative guarantees even for least-squares regression. We instead derive the gradient heterogeneity from the statistical model of linear and nonlinear regression with fresh data samples at every round. Our bounds separate heterogeneity among the honest clients' ground-truth model parameters, finite-sample label noise, and initialization. We then demonstrate that, for any $(f,κ)$-robust aggregator with coefficient $κ= O(f/n)$, where $f$ is the number of adversarial clients and $n$ the total number of clients (with $f/n < 1/2$), convergence holds after an explicit sample burn-in.
