• ScienceToStartup currently rates this 4.0/10 on the public viability pass. We demonstrate via experiments that this approach can achieve significant improvement in model accuracy even when the fraction of malicious clients is high, even more than $50\%$ in some cases, and the dataset utilized by the server is small and could be synthetic with its distribution not necessarily close to that of the clients' aggregated data. Code availability is flagged in the production record; the public repository link still needs proof alignment.result 35%
