• Abstract: Deep learning techniques have achieved remarkable performance in wide-ranging tasks. However, when trained on privacy-sensitive datasets, the model parameters may expose private information in training data. Prior attempts for differentially private training, although offering rigorous privacy guarantees, lead to much lower model performance than the non-private ones. Besides, different runs of the same training algorithm produce models with large performance variance. To address these issues, we propose DPlis--Differentially Private Learning wIth Smoothing. The core idea of DPlis is to construct a smooth loss function that favors noise-resilient models lying in large flat regions of the loss landscape. We provide theoretical justification for the utility improvements of DPlis. Extensive experiments also demonstrate that DPlis can effectively boost model quality and training stability under a given privacy budget.

  differential privacy (DP) is a prominent method to gauge the degree of security provided to the models. DP is yet not capable of protecting a substantial portion of the data used during the initial pre-training stage. We develop a novel DP continual pre-training strategy using only 10% of public data. Our strategy can achieve DP accuracy of 41.5% on ImageNet-21k, as well as non-DP accuracy of 55.7% and and 60.0% on downstream tasks Places365 and iNaturalist-2021.

  DP-SGD is a training algorithm that combines differential privacy with gradient descent. Applying DP-SGD naively to embedding models can destroy gradient sparsity, leading to reduced training efficiency. We present two new algorithms, DP-FEST and DP-AdaFEST, that preserve gradient sparsity during private training of large embedding models.

• Large Scale Transfer Learning for Differentially Private Image Classification [51.10365553035979]
  Differential Privacy (DP) provides a formal framework for training machine learning models with individual example level privacy. Private training using DP-SGD protects against leakage by injecting noise into individual example gradients. While this result is quite appealing, the computational cost of training large-scale models with DP-SGD is substantially higher than non-private training.

• Differentially Private Federated Learning with Laplacian Smoothing [72.85272874099644]
  Federated learning aims to protect data privacy by collaboratively learning a model without sharing private data among users. An adversary may still be able to infer the private training data by attacking the released model. Differential privacy provides a statistical protection against such attacks at the price of significantly degrading the accuracy or utility of the trained models.
