Abstract
With the massive deployment of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices, many data analysis applications emerge for the large amount of data accumulated by IoT. Federated learning (FedL) on IoT devices is an appealing mode to train a precise data analysis model. However, existing FedL schemes either take expensive computation costs (e.g., public-key cryptographic operations) or a large number of interactions among participants. Obviously, these schemes are unsuitable for IoT devices due to the limited computational and communication resources. In this work, we propose a lightweight privacy-preserving FedL scheme for IoT devices. To protect the privacy of individual local data, we add masks to intervening parameters. An effective secret-sharing scheme is adopted to ensure that masks can be eliminated accurately. Considering that FedL involves multiple iterations and mask generation for each iteration costs a large number of interactions among users for privacy guarantee, we also design a secure mask reusing mechanism for large-scale FedL tasks. We prove that our scheme is secure against the honest-but-curious model. In addition, we also expand our scheme to deal with the collusion attack. Extensive experiments on real IoT devices demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of our work.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
