PE-means: Improved Differentially Private -means Clustering through Private Evolution
Thomas Humphries, Zinan Lin, Sergey Yekhanin
We study the problem of differentially private (DP) -means clustering in Euclidean space. Previous solutions rely on summing the private data directly, which induces a sensitivi…
Differentially Private Synthetic Data via APIs 4: Tabular Data
Toan Tran, Arturs Backurs, Zinan Lin +3
This paper investigates the problem of generating synthetic tabular data with differential privacy (DP) guarantees, enabling data sharing in sensitive domains. Despite extensive st…
Latent Zoning Network: A Unified Principle for Generative Modeling, Representation Learning, and Classification
Zinan Lin, Enshu Liu, Xuefei Ning +3
Generative modeling, representation learning, and classification are three core problems in machine learning (ML), yet their state-of-the-art (SoTA) solutions remain largely disjoi…
Struct-Bench: A Benchmark for Differentially Private Structured Text Generation
Shuaiqi Wang, Vikas Raunak, Arturs Backurs +7
Differentially private (DP) synthetic data generation is a promising technique for utilizing private datasets that otherwise cannot be exposed for model training or other analytics…
Differentially Private Synthetic Data via APIs 3: Using Simulators Instead of Foundation Model
Zinan Lin, Tadas Baltrusaitis, Wenyu Wang +1
Differentially private (DP) synthetic data, which closely resembles the original private data while maintaining strong privacy guarantees, has become a key tool for unlocking the v…
Linear Combination of Saved Checkpoints Makes Consistency and Diffusion Models Better
Enshu Liu, Junyi Zhu, Zinan Lin +8
Diffusion Models (DM) and Consistency Models (CM) are two types of popular generative models with good generation quality on various tasks. When training DM and CM, intermediate we…
