Unleashing the Power of Randomization in Auditing Differentially Private ML

Krishna Pillutla, Galen Andrew, Peter Kairouz +3

We present a rigorous methodology for auditing differentially private machine learning algorithms by adding multiple carefully designed examples called canaries. We take a first pr…

Federated Learning of Gboard Language Models with Differential Privacy

Zheng Xu, Yanxiang Zhang, Galen Andrew +5

We train language models (LMs) with federated learning (FL) and differential privacy (DP) in the Google Keyboard (Gboard). We apply the DP-Follow-the-Regularized-Leader (DP-FTRL)~\…

One-shot Empirical Privacy Estimation for Federated Learning

Galen Andrew, Peter Kairouz, Sewoong Oh +3

Privacy estimation techniques for differentially private (DP) algorithms are useful for comparing against analytical bounds, or to empirically measure privacy loss in settings wher…

Differentially Private Learning with Adaptive Clipping

Galen Andrew, Om Thakkar, H. Brendan McMahan +1

Existing approaches for training neural networks with user-level differential privacy (e.g., DP Federated Averaging) in federated learning (FL) settings involve bounding the contri…

A General Approach to Adding Differential Privacy to Iterative Training Procedures

H. Brendan McMahan, Galen Andrew, Ulfar Erlingsson +4

In this work we address the practical challenges of training machine learning models on privacy-sensitive datasets by introducing a modular approach that minimizes changes to train…
