FedRio: Personalized Federated Social Bot Detection via Cooperative Reinforced Contrastive Adversarial Distillation

Researchers propose FedRio, a federated learning framework that enables social media platforms to collaboratively detect bot accounts without sharing raw user data. The system uses graph neural networks, adversarial learning, and reinforcement learning to improve bot detection accuracy while maintaining privacy across heterogeneous platform architectures.
