• Abstract: This article introduces differentially private log-location-scale (DP-LLS) regression models, which incorporate differential privacy into LLS regression through the functional mechanism. The proposed models are established by injecting noise into the log-likelihood function of LLS regression for perturbed parameter estimation. We will derive the sensitivities utilized to determine the magnitude of the injected noise and prove that the proposed DP-LLS models satisfy $\epsilon$-differential privacy. In addition, we will conduct simulations and case studies to evaluate the performance of the proposed models. The findings suggest that predictor dimension, training sample size, and privacy budget are three key factors impacting the performance of the proposed DP-LLS regression models. Moreover, the results indicate that a sufficiently large training dataset is needed to simultaneously ensure decent performance of the proposed models and achieve a satisfactory level of privacy protection.

We show that permutation indeed improves the privacy guarantee of DPSGD in theory, but tracking the exact privacy loss on shuffled model is particularly challenging.

  Generative adversarial network (GAN) has attracted increasing attention recently owing to its impressive ability to generate realistic samples with high privacy protection. However, when GANs are applied on sensitive or private training examples, such as medical or financial records, it is still probable to divulge individuals' sensitive and private information. We propose a R'enyi-differentially private-GAN (RDP-GAN), which achieves differential privacy (DP) in a GAN by carefully adding random noises on the value of the loss function during training.

  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.
