Federated Learning for the Real World: Privacy, Security, and Cost, Without the Trade-offs
Talk · Rochester Security Summit 2026 · October 2026
Talk by Dmitrii Korobeinikov, AJ Barea, and Leon Reznik on a decision framework for federated learning applications that detect and respond to attacks, balance security overhead against model performance, and adapt to changing conditions.
- PublicationDOI
InteFL: Metacognitive Federated Learning Framework
IEEE Intelligent Systems · 2026
We argue that metacognition should be the guiding principle for designing and deployment of Federated Learning (FL) applications.

- Conference
Kourai Khryseai: Transparent Human-on-the-Loop Multi-Agent Software Development
Poster · NE Agents Day 2026 · May 8, 2026
Reframes multi-agent coding as an interpretability problem via three pillars: Monitor (OpenTelemetry / Jaeger / Prometheus observability), Communicate (agents request clarification on ambiguous requirements), and Control (bounded repair loops for deliberate recovery).
- PublicationDOI
InteFL: Framework for AI-Assisted Design of Trustworthy and Efficient Federated Learning Applications
IJCNN 2026 (IEEE WCCI, Maastricht) · 2026
Although Federated Learning (FL) enhances clients' security and privacy by retaining data locally, the decentralized nature of this paradigm exposes it to diverse malicious actions as well as technological and reliability issues that can degrade data quality, hinder convergence, and reduce global model accuracy.
