Benign Overfitting in Adversarial Training for Vision Transformers

Jiaming Zhang, Meng Ding, Shaopeng Fu +2

Despite the remarkable success of Vision Transformers (ViTs) across a wide range of vision tasks, recent studies have revealed that they remain vulnerable to adversarial examples,…

Provable Effects of Data Replay in Continual Learning: A Feature Learning Perspective

Meng Ding, Jinhui Xu, Kaiyi Ji

Continual learning (CL) aims to train models on a sequence of tasks while retaining performance on previously learned ones. A core challenge in this setting is catastrophic forgett…

Finding Differentially Private Second Order Stationary Points in Stochastic Minimax Optimization

Difei Xu, Youming Tao, Meng Ding +2

We provide the first study of the problem of finding differentially private (DP) second-order stationary points (SOSP) in stochastic (non-convex) minimax optimization. Existing lit…

Beyond Ordinary Lipschitz Constraints: Differentially Private Stochastic Optimization with Tsybakov Noise Condition

Difei Xu, Meng Ding, Zihang Xiang +2

We study Stochastic Convex Optimization in the Differential Privacy model (DP-SCO). Unlike previous studies, here we assume the population risk function satisfies the Tsybakov Nois…

Differentially Private Sparse Linear Regression with Heavy-tailed Responses

Xizhi Tian, Meng Ding, Touming Tao +2

As a fundamental problem in machine learning and differential privacy (DP), DP linear regression has been extensively studied. However, most existing methods focus primarily on eit…

Improved Rates of Differentially Private Nonconvex-Strongly-Concave Minimax Optimization

Ruijia Zhang, Mingxi Lei, Meng Ding +3

In this paper, we study the problem of (finite sum) minimax optimization in the Differential Privacy (DP) model. Unlike most of the previous studies on the (strongly) convex-concav…
