Aggregator of Electric Vehicles Bidding in Nordic FCR-D Markets: A Chance-Constrained Program
Recently, two new innovative regulations in the Nordic ancillary service markets, the P90 rule and LER classification, were introduced to make the market more attractive for flexible stochastic resources. The regulations respectively relax market requirements related to the security and volume of flexible capacity from such resources. However, this incentivizes aggregators to exploit the rules when bidding flexible capacity. Considering the Nordic ancillary service Frequency Containment Reserve…

Inverse learning of black-box aggregator for robust Nash equilibrium
In this note, we investigate the robustness of Nash equilibria (NE) in multi-player aggregative games with coupling constraints. There are many algorithms for computing an NE of an aggregative game given a known aggregator. When the coupling parameters are affected by uncertainty, robust NE need to be computed. We consider a scenario where players' weight in the aggregator is unknown, making the aggregator kind of "a black box". We pursue a suitable learning approach to estimate the unknown agg…

AAA: an Adaptive Mechanism for Locally Differential Private Mean Estimation
Local differential privacy (LDP) is a strong privacy standard that has been adopted by popular software systems. The main idea is that each individual perturbs their own data locally, and only submits the resulting noisy version to a data aggregator. Although much effort has been devoted to computing various types of aggregates and building machine learning applications under LDP, research on fundamental perturbation mechanisms has not achieved significant improvement in recent years. Towards a…

Hey everyone, I have a new small project: Feditrends
It's a link aggregator showing trending links across several major Fediverse instances. Mostly news, sometimes other things.
Feditrends is originally by @…. I became a daily reader over a year ago and am very happy that he's allowed me to take over running it. There won't be any changes immediately but I intend to tinker with it once I get a bit more experience.

FedDebug: Systematic Debugging for Federated Learning Applications
In Federated Learning (FL), clients independently train local models and share them with a central aggregator to build a global model. Impermissibility to access clients' data and collaborative training make FL appealing for applications with data-privacy concerns, such as medical imaging. However, these FL characteristics pose unprecedented challenges for debugging. When a global model's performance deteriorates, identifying the responsible rounds and clients is a major pain point.

Nonlinear Markov Chains with an Aggregator and their Applications
We study the properties of a subclass of stochastic processes called discrete-time nonlinear Markov chains with an aggregator. In these chains, the next period's distribution of the process depends on both the current state of the process and on a real-valued function of the current distribution of the process. For these chains, we provide conditions for the uniqueness of an invariant distribution and a simple method to find the unique invariant distribution, which do not rely on contraction ar…

Fuzzy Classification Aggregation

Fuzzy Classification Aggregation
We consider the problem where a set of individuals has to classify $m$ objects into $p$ categories and does so by aggregating the individual classifications. We show that if $m\geq 3$, $m\geq p\geq 2$, and classifications are fuzzy, that is, objects belong to a category to a certain degree, then an independent aggregator rule that satisfies a weak unanimity condition belongs to the family of Weighted Arithmetic Means. We also obtain characterization results for $m= p= 2$.

FedDefender: Backdoor Attack Defense in Federated Learning
Federated Learning (FL) is a privacy-preserving distributed machine learning technique that enables individual clients (e.g., user participants, edge devices, or organizations) to train a model on their local data in a secure environment and then share the trained model with an aggregator to build a global model collaboratively. In this work, we propose FedDefender, a defense mechanism against targeted poisoning attacks in FL by leveraging differential testing. Our proposed method fingerprints …
