+===== AggregaThor =====
+Designed for the MLSYS '19 paper: "//AggregaThor: Byzantine Machine Learning via Robust Gradient Aggregation//."
+AggregaThor is the first scalable Byzantine resilient framework for distributed machine learning applications. AggregaThor is built on top of TensorFlow while achieving transparency: applications built with TensorFlow do not need to change their interfaces to be made Byzantine-resilient. AggregaThor uses the parameter server architecture, and it adds (to vanilla TensorFlow) two main layers: (1) the aggregation layer and (2) the communication layer. The former uses a statistically-robust gradient aggregation rule, called Multi-Krum, to robustly aggregate workers' gradients, ensuring convergence of training even in the existence of malicious workers. The communication layer enables users to experiment with unreliable transport layer (i.e., using UDP), which achieves better performance than vanilla TensorFlow in highly-saturated networks. AggregaThor source code was evaluated by experts and was given ACM accreditations for being functional and reusable.
