Demo Abstract: Blades: A Unified Benchmark Suite for Byzantine-Resilient in Federated Learning

Federated learning (FL) facilitates distributed training across different IoT and edge devices, safeguarding the privacy of their data. The inherently distributed nature of FL introduces vulnerabilities, especially from adversarial devices aiming to skew local updates to their desire. Despite the plethora of research focusing on Byzantine-resilient FL, the academic community has yet to establish a comprehensive benchmark suite, pivotal for the assessment and comparison of different techniques. This demonstration presents Blades, a scalable, extensible, and easily configurable benchmark suite that supports researchers and developers in efficiently implementing and validating strategies against baseline algorithms in Byzantine-resilient FL.
