首次提出联邦排名聚合的布多与莱默编码方法，解决隐私保护下的分布式排序融合问题。

Rank aggregation combines multiple ranked lists into a consensus ranking. In fields like biomedical data sharing, rankings may be distributed and require privacy. This motivates the need for federated rank aggregation protocols, which support distributed, private, and communication-efficient learning across multiple clients with local data. We present the first known federated rank aggregation methods using Borda scoring and Lehmer codes, focusing on the sample complexity for federated algorithms on Mallows distributions with a known scaling factor $ϕ$ and an unknown centroid permutation $σ_0$. Federated Borda approach involves local client scoring, nontrivial quantization, and privacy-preserving protocols. We show that for $ϕ\in [0,1)$, and arbitrary $σ_0$ of length $N$, it suffices for each of the $L$ clients to locally aggregate $\max\{C_1(ϕ), C_2(ϕ)\frac{1}{L}\log \frac{N}δ\}$ rankings, where $C_1(ϕ)$ and $C_2(ϕ)$ are constants, quantize the result, and send it to the server who can then recover $σ_0$ with probability $\geq 1-δ$. Communication complexity scales as $NL \log N$. Our results represent the first rigorous analysis of Borda's method in centralized and distributed settings under the Mallows model. Federated Lehmer coding approach creates a local Lehmer code for each client, using a coordinate-majority aggregation approach with specialized quantization methods for efficiency and privacy. We show that for $ϕ+ϕ^2<1+ϕ^N$, and arbitrary $σ_0$ of length $N$, it suffices for each of the $L$ clients to locally aggregate $\max\{C_3(ϕ), C_4(ϕ)\frac{1}{L}\log \frac{N}δ\}$ rankings, where $C_3(ϕ)$ and $C_4(ϕ)$ are constants. Clients send truncated Lehmer coordinate histograms to the server, which can recover $σ_0$ with probability $\geq 1-δ$. Communication complexity is $\sim O(N\log NL\log L)$.
