Does Heavy-Tailed Gradient Noise Explain the CIFAR-10 Gap in Byzantine-Robust, Differentially Private Federated Learning? An Empirical Stress Test of Byz-Clip21-SGD2M

Byz-Clip21-SGD2M (Islamov et al., 2026) provides high-probability convergence guarantees for federated learning under simultaneous Byzantine adversaries and differential-privacy (DP) noise, relaxing the bounded-gradient assumption behind the tight privacy-robustness-utility trade...
