Byzantine Fault-Tolerant Distributed Machine Learning Using Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) and Norm-Based Comparative Gradient Elimination (CGE) [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 This paper considers the Byzantine fault-tolerance problem in distributed stochastic gradient descent (D-SGD) method - a popular algorithm for distributed multi-agent machine learning. In this problem, each agent samples data points independently from a certain data-generating distribution. In the fault-free case, the D-SGD method allows all the agents

Fall of Empires: Breaking Byzantine-tolerant SGD by Inner Product Manipulation [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Recently, new defense techniques have been developed to tolerate Byzantine failures for distributed machine learning. The Byzantine model captures workers that behave arbitrarily, including malicious and compromised workers. In this paper, we break two prevailing Byzantine-tolerant techniques.

Evidence of glass bead‐making in the early Islamic Iberian Peninsula
Archaeometry, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 364-379, April 2025.Abstract Glass beads from two Islamic archaeological sites in the Tagus valley in central Spain were selected and analysed by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS), and a subset of samples (n = 6) was analysed for Pb isotopes by multicollector thermal ionization mass spectrometry (MC‐TIMS).
