FedGraph: Defending Federated Large Language Model Fine-Tuning Against Backdoor Attacks via Graph-Based Aggregation
Federated fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs) allows multiple clients to collaboratively adapt models without sharing raw data, offering strong privacy benefits. However, this setting is highly vulnerable to backdoor attacks, in which malicious clients manipulate their updates to induce targeted behaviors while maintaining normal performance on benign inputs. In this work, we make a key…
