Grad-BANT compresses distributed workers’ gradients with random projections that approximately preserve distances and inner products, allowing a server to score updates against a trusted reference direction. In a ResNet-18/CIFAR-10 experiment with seven of ten clients Byzantine, it reaches 0.827 best accuracy under IPM at 50% compression. Under ALIE it reaches 0.539 and fails to reach 60% accuracy.
