A Unified Framework for Adversary-Aware Differential Privacy Bounds

Marika Swanberg, Meenatchi Sundaram Muthu Selva Annamalai, Jamie Hayes +2

Differential Privacy (DP) bounds the privacy leakage of a mechanism against worst-case membership inference, but the precise tradeoff between complex adversarial models and DP prot…

Unifying Re-Identification, Attribute Inference, and Data Reconstruction Risks in Differential Privacy

Bogdan Kulynych, Juan Felipe Gomez, Georgios Kaissis +4

Differentially private (DP) mechanisms are difficult to interpret and calibrate because existing methods for mapping standard privacy parameters to concrete privacy risks -- re-ide…

Gaussian DP for Reporting Differential Privacy Guarantees in Machine Learning

Juan Felipe Gomez, Bogdan Kulynych, Georgios Kaissis +4

Current practices for reporting differential privacy (DP) guarantees for machine learning (ML) algorithms such as DP-SGD provide an incomplete and potentially misleading picture. F…

Scaling Laws for Differentially Private Language Models

Ryan McKenna, Yangsibo Huang, Amer Sinha +9

Scaling laws have emerged as important components of large language model (LLM) training as they can predict performance gains through scale, and provide guidance on important hype…

The Last Iterate Advantage: Empirical Auditing and Principled Heuristic Analysis of Differentially Private SGD

Thomas Steinke, Milad Nasr, Arun Ganesh +7

We propose a simple heuristic privacy analysis of noisy clipped stochastic gradient descent (DP-SGD) in the setting where only the last iterate is released and the intermediate ite…
