Asymptotically Optimal Best Arm Identification with Fixed-Budget under Differential Privacy

Keqin Chen, Jie Bian, Yulian Wu +1

Best arm identification under differential privacy is a pure-exploration problem in which both statistical efficiency and privacy protection must be achieved simultaneously. We stu…

Offline and Online KL-Regularized RLHF under Differential Privacy

Yulian Wu, Rushil Thareja, Praneeth Vepakomma +1

In this paper, we study the offline and online settings of reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) with KL-regularization -- a widely used objective function in large lan…

SquarePO: Differentially Private and Robust -Preference Optimization in Offline Direct Alignment

Xingyu Zhou, Yulian Wu, Wenqian Weng +1

In this paper, we theoretically study the offline alignment of language models with human preference feedback, under both preference label corruption and privacy protections. To th…

A Unified Theoretical Analysis of Private and Robust Offline Alignment: from RLHF to DPO

Xingyu Zhou, Yulian Wu, Francesco Orabona

In this paper, we theoretically investigate the effects of noisy labels in offline alignment, with a focus on the interplay between privacy and robustness against adversarial corru…

Optimal Regret of Bernoulli Bandits under Global Differential Privacy

Achraf Azize, Yulian Wu, Junya Honda +3

As sequential learning algorithms are increasingly applied to real life, ensuring data privacy while maintaining their utilities emerges as a timely question. In this context, regr…

Better-than-KL PAC-Bayes Bounds

Ilja Kuzborskij, Kwang-Sung Jun, Yulian Wu +2

Let be a sequence of random elements, where is a fixed scalar function, are independent random variables (data), and i…
