Enabling SQL-based Training Data Debugging for Federated Learning

Summary: Extends Rain-based SQL-based debugging to federated learning (FedRain) to prune mislabeled data causing unexpected model behavior. Then Frog refines the protocol for federated debugging, delivering security, accuracy, and efficiency over FedRain. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
