• Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) is a collaborative scheme to train a learning model across multiple participants without sharing data. While FL is a clear step forward towards enforcing users' privacy, different inference attacks have been developed. In this paper, we quantify the utility and privacy trade-off of a FL scheme using private personalized layers. While this scheme has been proposed as local adaptation to improve the accuracy of the model through local personalization, it has also the advantage to minimize the information about the model exchanged with the server. However, the privacy of such a scheme has never been quantified. Our evaluations using motion sensor dataset show that personalized layers speed up the convergence of the model and slightly improve the accuracy for all users compared to a standard FL scheme while better preventing both attribute and membership inferences compared to a FL scheme using local differential privacy.

  Federated Learning (FL) allows users to share knowledge instead of raw data to train a model with high accuracy. During the training, users lose control over the knowledge shared, which causes serious data privacy issues. This work proposes FLiP, which aims to bring the principle of least privilege (PoLP) to FL training.

  Federated Learning (FL) has gained lots of traction recently, both in industry and academia. In FL, a machine learning model is trained using data from various end-users arranged in committees across several rounds. Since such data can often be sensitive, a primary challenge in FL is providing privacy while still retaining utility of the model.

  Federated learning (FL) allows to train a massive amount of data privately due to its decentralized structure. We consider Gaussian mechanisms to preserve local differential privacy (LDP) of user data in the FL model with SGD. Our results guarantee a significantly larger utility and a smaller transmission rate as compared to existing privacy accounting methods.

• 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.
