Federated Learning (FL) is a method for collaborative learning among edge devices by sharing models instead of raw data.
A novel method called Sharpness-Aware Minimization-based Robust Federated Learning (SMRFL) has been proposed to improve model robustness against perturbations.
SMRFL minimizes the maximum loss within a neighborhood of model parameters to reduce sensitivity to perturbations and enhance robustness.
Experimental results show that SMRFL enhances robustness against perturbations on real-world datasets compared to three baseline methods.
