    Abstract: The embodiments are directed towards providing personalized federated learning (PFL) models via sharable federated basis models. A model architecture and learning algorithm for PFL models is disclosed. The embodiments learn a set of basis models, which can be combined layer by layer to form a personalized model for each client using specifically learned combination coefficients. The set of basis models are shared with each client of a set of the clients. Thus, the set of basis models is common to each client of the set of clients. However, each client may generate a unique PFL based on their specifically learned combination coefficients. The unique combination of coefficients for each client may be encoded in a separate personalized vector for each of the clients.

    Abstract: Generally, the present disclosure is directed to the training of robust neural network models by using smooth activation functions. Systems and methods according to the present disclosure may generate and/or train neural network models with improved robustness without incurring a substantial accuracy penalty and/or increased computational cost, or without any such penalty at all. For instance, in some examples, the accuracy may improve. A smooth activation function may replace an original activation function in a machine-learned model when backpropagating a loss function through the model. Optionally, one activation function may be used in the model at inference time, and a replacement activation function may be used when backpropagating a loss function through the model. The replacement activation function may be used to update learnable parameters of the model and/or to generate adversarial examples for training the model.
