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…

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…

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…
