Abstract:Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative machine learning while preserving data privacy but struggles to balance privacy preservation (PP) and fairness. Techniques like Differential Privacy (DP), Homomorphic Encryption (HE), and Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMC) protect sensitive data but introduce trade-offs. DP enhances privacy but can disproportionately impact underrepresented groups, while HE and SMC mitigate fairness concerns at the cost of computational overhead. This work explores the privacy-fairness trade-offs in FL under IID (Independent and Identically Distributed) and non-IID data distributions, benchmarking q-FedAvg, q-MAML, and Ditto on diverse datasets. Our findings highlight context-dependent trade-offs and offer guidelines for designing FL systems that uphold responsible AI principles, ensuring fairness, privacy, and equitable real-world applications.
Abstract:Human-Machine Teaming (HMT) is revolutionizing collaboration across domains such as defense, healthcare, and autonomous systems by integrating AI-driven decision-making, trust calibration, and adaptive teaming. This survey presents a comprehensive taxonomy of HMT, analyzing theoretical models, including reinforcement learning, instance-based learning, and interdependence theory, alongside interdisciplinary methodologies. Unlike prior reviews, we examine team cognition, ethical AI, multi-modal interactions, and real-world evaluation frameworks. Key challenges include explainability, role allocation, and scalable benchmarking. We propose future research in cross-domain adaptation, trust-aware AI, and standardized testbeds. By bridging computational and social sciences, this work lays a foundation for resilient, ethical, and scalable HMT systems.
