Reconstructing Test Labels from Noisy Loss Functions

Abhinav Aggarwal, Shiva Prasad Kasiviswanathan, Zekun Xu +2

Machine learning classifiers rely on loss functions for performance evaluation, often on a private (hidden) dataset. In a recent line of research, label inference was introduced as…

Label Inference Attacks from Log-loss Scores

Abhinav Aggarwal, Shiva Prasad Kasiviswanathan, Zekun Xu +2

Log-loss (also known as cross-entropy loss) metric is ubiquitously used across machine learning applications to assess the performance of classification algorithms. In this paper,…

On a Utilitarian Approach to Privacy Preserving Text Generation

Zekun Xu, Abhinav Aggarwal, Oluwaseyi Feyisetan +1

Differentially-private mechanisms for text generation typically add carefully calibrated noise to input words and use the nearest neighbor to the noised input as the output word. W…
